Calculating TPN Infusion Rate

A patient is being started on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) due to a non-functioning gastrointestinal tract. The TPN solution contains 25% dextrose and 4% amino acids. To ensure safe administration of the solution, the nurse must calculate the appropriate rate to infuse the solution. If the total volume of the TPN solution to be administered over 24 hours is 2000 mL, the infusion rate (mL/hr) can be calculated by dividing the total volume by 24 hours. Fill in the blank with the correct infusion rate: The correct infusion rate is ______ mL/hr.
