A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride IV infusion 1-L bag at a rate of 200 ml\/hr for a client who has rhabdomyolysis. The nurse should expect the IV pump to infuse over how many hours? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The IV pump will infuse over 5 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To determine how long it will take for the IV pump to infuse the 1-L (1000 mL) bag of 0.9% sodium chloride at a rate of 200 mL\/hr, we can use the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[
\\text{Time (hours)} = \\frac{\\text{Total Volume (mL)}}{\\text{Rate (mL\/hr)}}
]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Identify the values<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Total volume<\/strong> = 1-L = 1000 mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Rate<\/strong> = 200 mL\/hr<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Perform the calculation<\/strong>:
        [
        \\text{Time} = \\frac{1000 \\, \\text{mL}}{200 \\, \\text{mL\/hr}} = 5 \\, \\text{hours}
        ]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Rounding<\/strong>:
        Since the calculated time (5.0 hours) is already a whole number, no further rounding is needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Confirm units<\/strong>:
        The rate and volume are in compatible units (mL and mL\/hr), so the answer is accurate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Why Is This Important for Rhabdomyolysis?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Condition Overview<\/strong>: Rhabdomyolysis involves the breakdown of muscle tissue, leading to the release of myoglobin into the bloodstream. Myoglobin can damage the kidneys, potentially causing acute kidney injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Treatment Role<\/strong>: Aggressive IV fluid administration is critical to dilute the myoglobin and support kidney function by promoting urine production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Safety Considerations<\/strong>:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Administering fluids too quickly can risk fluid overload, especially in clients with compromised heart or kidney function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Conversely, underhydration may not adequately protect the kidneys.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          By calculating the infusion time correctly, the nurse ensures the client receives the prescribed therapy safely and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
