A client is receiving a secondary infusion of erythromycin 1 grams in 100 mL dextrose 5% in water (D5W) to be infused in 30 minutes. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numerical value only.)

Total volume = 100 mL. 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) / Total time (hr) = 100 mL / 0.5 hr = 200 mL/hr.
