Calculation
A client is receiving a secondary infusion of azithromycin 500 mg in 500 mL of normal saline (NS) to be infused over 2 hours. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numerical value only.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Given: Volume of fluid: 500 mL Infusion time: 2 hours Formula: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hr) Step 1: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = 500 mL / 2 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 250 mL/hr
