If an IV infusion runs at a rate of 75 mL/hr, how much fluid will the patient receive in 8 hours?

To determine the total volume of fluid a patient will receive from an IV infusion running at a rate of 75 mL/hr over a period of 8 hours, you can multiply the infusion rate by the duration in hours.

The calculation is as follows:

Total fluid = Infusion rate (mL/hr) × Time (hours)

Substituting in the values:

Total fluid = 75 mL/hr × 8 hours

Now, performing the multiplication:

Total fluid = 600 mL

The selection of 900 mL appears to be a miscalculation, as it suggests either a misunderstanding of the multiplication involved or an incorrect assumption about the infusion time or rate. The correct calculation leads to a total of 600 mL, which confirms that the patient would receive 600 mL during the 8-hour period.
