Question

determine the flow rate using an infusion pump. round to the nearest whole number. order: 1800 ml of normal saline iv over 12 hours. multiple choice 1 point 150 gtt/ml 150 ml/hr 150 hours 150 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Identify volume and time

Volume = 1800 mL, Time = 12 hours

Step2: Calculate flow - rate formula

Flow rate (mL/hr)=$\frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (hr)}$

Step3: Substitute values

Flow rate = $\frac{1800}{12}$ = 150 mL/hr

Answer:

150 mL/hr
