Question

A 1L IV bag is administered over 8 hours. What is the infusion rate?

a. 125 mL/min
b. 250mL/min
c. 125mL/hour
d. 250mL/hour

Answer 1

The infusion rate for a 1L IV bag administered over 8 hours is 125 mL/hour (option c).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the infusion rate of a 1L IV bag administered over 8 hours, we need to convert the time to minutes and divide the volume by the time.

Infusion rate = Total volume / Total time

Infusion rate = 1000 mL / 8 hours

Infusion rate = 125 mL/hour

Thus, the correct answer is 'c. 125mL/hour'.
