Solution

First, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours because the question asks for the rate in mL per hour.

There are 60 minutes in an hour. So, 75 minutes is equal to 75/60 = 1.25 hours.

Next, we need to find out how many mL will be administered per hour.

To do this, we divide the total volume of saline (250 mL) by the time in hours (1.25 hours).

So, 250 mL / 1.25 hours = 200 mL/hour.

Therefore, 200 mL of 0.9% saline will be administered to the client per hour.
