A volume of 1,000 mL of D5W is to infuse at 90 mL/hr.
The IV was started at 0200.
What time will the IV be completed?
State answer in military time.
Ordered: 750 mL of NS to infuse over 300 minutes
What would the RN set the IV pump for?
1. Time of infusion (hr) =total volume (ml) /rate (ml/hr)
Given total volume is 1000ml
Rate of iv infusion is 90ml/hr
Time of iv infusion =1000/90
=11.1 hrs
Therefore the time of iv infusion is 11hrs.
2.rate of iv infusion(ml/hr= =total volume (ml) /total time (hrs)
Given total volume is 750ml
Given total time is 300min =300/60=5hrs
Rate of iv infusion =750/5=150ml/hr
Therefore, the iv infusion rate is 150ml/hr.
