Answer:

1010ml

Step-by-step explanation:

I would say 1010mL

Seeing as from 7am to 3pm is 8hrs.

8hrs*125mL=1000mL

Since there is only one 6hr increment within 8hrs.

1000mL + 10mL =1010mL

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1010ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intake of the infusion of the IV and normal saline can be calculated with the help of the infusion rate of both in total. In this case the patient is receiving infusion at the rate of the 125ml/hr and in the question is asked for 7 am to 3 pm which is equal to 8 hour so the infusion of IV would be -

125 × 8 = 1000ml

And, the infusion of saline at every six hour is 10 ml so in total infusion would be - 1000 + 10 = 1010 ml ( in whole number so did not considered extra two hour saline infusion).

Thus, the correct answer is - 1010 ml.
