Question
Use military time in calculating the completion time of the following IV flow problems. The doctor orders 1 L NS to infuse over 8 hours. The nurse starts the IV at 1400. At 1900, the patient pulls out the IV. The nurse restarts the IV at 2200, at the same rate. Starting with the amount of IV fluid left at 1900, calculate the new infusion time and the completion time of the IV. Write your answers as 2 comma separated numbers for infusion (in hours) and completion times (military time) (e.g. 5, 2030)
Explanation / Answer
Infusion time=8 hours
As the nurse started IV at 1400 and the patient pulls out at 1900.
hence infusion took for 1900-1400=5 hours
New infusion time= 8-5=3 hours
Restarted at 2200 at the same rate and completion time 3, 0100
