Question: 1 / 400

A physician orders an IV drip at a rate of 25ML/hr for a total of 20 hours. What volume of fluid will be needed?

0.5L

To determine the total volume of fluid needed for an IV drip ordered at a rate of 25 mL per hour for 20 hours, you multiply the rate by the duration.

First, calculate the total volume of fluid:

25 mL/hour × 20 hours = 500 mL

To convert milliliters to liters, remember that 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters. Therefore, to convert 500 mL to liters:

500 mL ÷ 1,000 mL/L = 0.5 L

Thus, the total volume of fluid needed for the IV drip is 0.5 liters. This makes the selection of 0.5 L the correct choice for this question.
