a nurse is preparing to administer total parental nutrition (tpn) 1800 ml to infuse over 24 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.)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the formula

The formula to calculate the infusion rate (in mL/hr) is $\text{Infusion rate}=\frac{\text{Total volume (mL)}}{\text{Total time (hr)}}$.

Step2: Substitute the values

Here, the total volume is $1800$ mL and the total time is $24$ hr. So, $\text{Infusion rate}=\frac{1800}{24}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$1800\div24 = 75$.

Answer:

75
