The IV is infusing at 75 mL per hour. It will take how many hours for the patient to receive 600 mL of fluid?

To determine how many hours it will take for the patient to receive 600 mL of fluid at an infusion rate of 75 mL per hour, you can use the formula:

Total volume to be infused (600 mL) divided by the infusion rate (75 mL/hour).

Calculating this gives:

600 mL ÷ 75 mL/hour = 8 hours.

This calculation shows that it will take 8 hours to infuse the total of 600 mL at the rate of 75 mL per hour, making this the correct answer. Understanding this calculation is essential in IV fluid therapy to ensure accurate administration and monitoring of IV fluids to patients.
