    Calculation

    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 main dextrose 5% in water (DW) 200 mL. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter numerical value only.)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) Plugging in the values: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL / 1 hr Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL/hr
