Calculation
A client is receiving IV dextrose 5% in water (D5W) at 125 mL/hour and a secondary infusion of pantoprazole 40 mg IV daily. The pharmacy provides a 110 mL premixed solution of pantoprazole to be infused over 15 minutes. The nurse should program the secondary infusion to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Total volume = 110 mL. Infusion time = 15 minutes. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = (Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (min)) x 60 min/hr = (110 mL / 15 min) x 60 min/hr = 7.333.... mL/min x 60 min/hr = 440 mL/hr.
