ATI Pharmacology quiz(1) ( 30 Questions)
Question 1 of 30 :
A nurse is caring for client who has sepsis and a prescription for vancomycin 1 g in 250 mL dextrose 5% (DSW) over 2 hr by IV intermittent bolus. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 125
Identify the given information:
Total volume: 250 mL
Time: 2 hours
Determine the flow rate:
Set up a proportion to solve for the unknown flow rate (X):
250 mL/2 hr = X mL/1 hr
Cross-multiplying gives us:
250 mL x 1 hr = 2 hr x X mL
Simplifying:
250 = 2X
Solving for X:
X = 250 / 2 = 125 mL/hr
