A client is to receive furosemide 60 mg IV every 12 hours. The medication is available in a concentration of 10 mg/mL, and based on the manufacturer's recommendations, the nurse plans to administer the dosage over 20 minutes. The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only.)

Given Information: Prescribed dose: 60 mg Concentration: 10 mg/mL Infusion time: 20 minutes Calculate the volume of furosemide to be administered Volume to be administered = Prescribed dose / Concentration Volume to be administered = 60 mg / 10 mg/mL = 6 mL Calculate the total infusion time in hours 20 minutes / 60 min/hour = 0.33 hours Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hour Infusion rate = Total volume / Infusion time Infusion rate = 6 mL / 0.33 hours = 18.18 mL/hour Round to the nearest whole number (as instructed) Infusion rate = 18 mL/hour
