Programming the Infusion Parameters

You now specify the parameters for the infusion. The screen defaults to a Volume/Duration infusion, but you can change it to a Rate/Volume infusion by pressing the RATE/VOLUME soft key.

Based on your hospital's guidelines an initial starting duration may be pre-populated. To change the starting duration, press the DURATION active soft key and enter the desired amount using the numeric keys.

You will have an opportunity to walk through this entire process in the activity on the next page.
