A nurse administers 100 mL of IV fluids at 125 mL/hr. The infusion bag was hung at 0900. At what time will the infusion be completed, in military time without a colon?

Explanation:
The question tests how to compute the completion time by using the infusion rate and the volume. Time needed equals volume divided by rate: 100 mL ÷ 125 mL/hr = 0.8 hour. That’s 0.8 × 60 = 48 minutes. Starting at 0900, adding 48 minutes gives 0948 in military time. So the infusion finishes at 0948.
