Expert Solution

Given

Order:0.9% NS

volume:1L (1000ml)

Time:8hr (8*60= 480minutes)

To calculate ml/hr =divide total volume by time in hour

=1000/8

=125ml/hr

To calculate drip rate=Volume (ml)/Time (min) * drop factor(ml/hr)

Drop factor(standard)=15gtt/min

=1000/480*15

=2.08*15

=31 drops/min

Ans:The nurse should program the infusion pump at 125ml/hr at 31drops/min.
