    Calculation

    A client is receiving a secondary infusion of vancomycin 1,500 mg in 250 mL to be infused over two hours. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numerical value only.)

    mL/hour

    Explanation & Rationale

    Total volume to be infused = 250 mL Infusion time in hours = 2 hours Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour: Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours) = 250 mL / 2 hours = 125 mL/hour
