Question

A nurse is preparing to administer an enteral tube feeding through an ng tube at 250 ml over 4 hr. the nurse should set the 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.)

Answer 1

It the nurse wants to administer 250 ml over 4 hours, she would have to divide the total dosage by 4 to get the amount in a single hour. Dividing 250 by 4 gets us 62.5, rounding to the nearest whole number would mean the nurse has to administer at 63 ml/hr.
