Question 1 of 53 :
A nurse is caring for client who has sepsis and a prescription for vancomycin 1 g in 250 ml dextrose 5% (DW) 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
Calculation:
Total volume to be infused = 250 mL.
Infusion time = 2 hr.
- Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr).
Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr)
= 250 mL / 2 hr
= 125 mL/hr.
