Calculation
A 38-week primigravida client who is positive for group A Streptococcus (GAS) receives a prescription for cefazolin 2 grams IV to be infused over 30 minutes. The medication is available in "Cefazolin 2 grams/100 mL normal saline." The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Total volume = 100 mL. Total infusion time and convert to hours. Infusion time = 30 minutes Infusion time = 30 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 0.5 hours. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 100 mL / 0.5 hr = 200 mL/hr.
