Answer:
B ICD-10-CM
Explanation:
The nurse has a prescription to infuse 1000 mL of 5% dextrose in lactated Ringer's solution at 80 mL per hour. The nurse time-tapes the intravenous (IV) bag with a start time of 0900. After making hourly marks on the time-tape, the nurse should note which completion time for the bag?
Answer:
21:30
Explanation:
1. Calculate the time required for the solution to infuse
[tex]\text{Time} = \text{1000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{1 h}}{\text{80 mL}} = \text{12.5 h}[/tex]
2. Convert decimal hours to minutes
[tex]\text{Time} = \text{1000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{1 h}}{\text{80 mL}} = \text{12.5 h}[/tex]
So, 12.5 h = 12 h 30 min
3. Convert the time to 24 h format
12 h 30 min = 12:30
4. Calculate the completion time
Start time = 09:00
Infusion time = 12:30
Completion time = 21:30
The nurse should mark the completion time as 21:30.
