Infusion Calculations Practice Test

Infuse 2 litres over 8 hours. What is the flow rate in mL/h?

250 mL/h 260 mL/h 240 mL/h 230 mL/h

Correct Answer:

250 mL/h

Explanation:

Flow rate is the amount of fluid delivered per unit time. To find it in mL per hour, convert the volume to millilitres and divide by the time in hours. 2 litres equals 2000 millilitres, and over 8 hours that’s 2000 ÷ 8 = 250 mL/h. So the infusion rate is 250 millilitres per hour. If you kept litres, you’d get 0.25 L/h, which is the same as 250 mL/h since 1 L = 1000 mL.
