Calculation
A client receives a prescription for ciprofloxacin 400 mg intravenously (IV) every 12 hours, which is to be infused over an hour. The IV bag contains ciprofloxacin 400 mg in dextrose 5% in water (D5W) 200 mL. How many mL/hr should the nurse program the infusion pump to deliver? (Enter numerical value only.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Total volume = 200 mL. Infusion time = 1 hour. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 200 mL / 1 hr = 200 mL/hr.
