A client receives a prescription for ciprofloxacin 400 mg intravenously (IV) every 12 hours to be infused over an hour. The IV bag contains ciprofloxacin 400 mg in dextrose 5% in water (DW) 200 mL. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter numerical value only.)

Step by step calculation: Determine the total volume to be infused: The IV bag contains 200 mL of the solution. Determine the infusion time: The prescription is to infuse the solution over 1 hour. Calculate the infusion rate: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours) Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL / 1 hour Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL/hr
