A client receives a prescription for a secondary infusion of IV erythromycin 1 gram in 200 mL dextrose 5% in water (D5W) to be infused in 90 minutes. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter the numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

To calculate the infusion rate, we'll use the following formula: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Volume to be infused (mL) / Time (hr) First, calculate the total time in minutes: 90 minutes = 1.5 hours Then, plug the values into the formula: Infusion rate = 200 mL / 1.5 hours = 133.33 mL/hr Therefore, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 133 mL/hr. Answer= 133mL/hr
