Explanation / Answer

Ans : Switch the IV tubing to another pump and label the first one to be checked for possible malfunction.

Since the level of fluid in the bag is unchanged , which means the fluid has not been administered to the patient. In such a case switching the tubing to the another pump will ensure the continious administeration of fluid to the patient , and also the previous tube is labelled for check up so that it can be repaired or replaced.
