Ati Math Quiz n133 ( 13 Questions)
Question 1 of 13 :
The order from a provider is: Vancomycin 2 g in 500 mL of d5W IV daily to be administered over 2 hours. What is the rate on the infusion pump?
Correct Answer: 250
To calculate the rate for an infusion pump, you would use the formula: rate (mL/hr) = volume to be infused (mL) / time for infusion (hr). In this case, the volume to be infused is 500 mL and the time for infusion is 2 hours. Therefore, the infusion pump rate would be calculated as 500 mL divided by 2 hours, resulting in a rate of 250 mL/hr.
