a client is receiving dextrose 5% in water (d5w) 1,000 ml at 75 ml/hour. the nurse hangs the bag of iv fluids at 0300. at what time, based on the 24 - hour clock, should the infusion be completed?\n1620.\n1630.\n0420.\n0430.
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate infusion time
$t=\frac{V}{r}$, where $V = 1000$ ml and $r=75$ ml/hour. So $t=\frac{1000}{75}=\frac{40}{3}\text{ hours}=13\frac{1}{3}\text{ hours}$.
## Step2: Convert fraction of hour to minutes
$\frac{1}{3}\text{ hour}\times60 = 20$ minutes. So the infusion time is 13 hours and 20 minutes.
## Step3: Add time to start - time
Start - time is 0300. 0300 + 13 hours 20 minutes = 1620.
# Answer:
1620
