Question 1 of 59 :
A client receives a prescription for dopamine 200 mg/500 mL IV to be infused over 45 minutes. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: 667
Calculation:
- Identify the total volume and infusion time
Total Volume: 500 mL
Infusion Time: 45 minutes (0.75 hours)
- Calculate the infusion rate
Infusion Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume ÷ Time (hr)
Infusion Rate = 500 ÷ 0.75
Infusion Rate = 666.67 mL/hr
- Round to the nearest whole number
= 667 mL/hr
