Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Total Volume to be Infused

The total volume of the solution to be infused is given as \(250 \, \text{mL}\).

Step 2: Determine the Total Time for Infusion

The total time over which the infusion is to occur is given as 6 hours.

Step 3: Calculate the Infusion Rate

To find the infusion rate in \(\text{mL/hr}\), divide the total volume by the total time:

\[ \text{Infusion Rate} = \frac{250 \, \text{mL}}{6 \, \text{hr}} \approx 41.67 \, \text{mL/hr} \]

Step 4: Round to the Nearest Whole Number

Round the calculated infusion rate to the nearest whole number:

\[ \text{Infusion Rate} \approx 42 \, \text{mL/hr} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{42 \, \text{mL/hr}} \]
