Question 1 of 43 :
A client receives a prescription for ciprofloxacin 400 mg intravenously (IV) every 12 hours to be infused over an hour. The IV bag contains ciprofloxacin 400 mg in dextrose 5% in water (DW) 200 mL. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter numerical value only.)
Correct Answer: 200
Step by step calculation:
Determine the total volume to be infused:
The IV bag contains 200 mL of the solution.
Determine the infusion time:
The prescription is to infuse the solution over 1 hour.
Calculate the infusion rate:
Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours)
Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL / 1 hour
Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL/hr
