    A client receives a prescription for IV ciprofloxacin 400 mg 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/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump to deliver? (Enter numerical value only.)

    mL/hour

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Identify the total volume. 200 mL Step 2: Identify the infusion time. 1 hour Step 3: Calculate the infusion rate. 200 ÷ 1 = 200 mL/hour
