a nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride 400 ml iv to an older adult client over 8 hr. the nurse should set the iv pump to deliver how many ml/hr? (round the answer to the nearest whole number. use a leading zero if it applies. do not use a trailing zero.)
ml/hr

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Rate (mL/hr)=Volume (mL)/Time (hr)

Step2: Substitute values

Volume = 400 mL, Time = 8 hr. So, Rate=$\frac{400}{8}$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{400}{8}=50$

Answer:

50
