    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 (DW) 200 mL. How many mL/hr should the nurse program the infusion pump to deliver? (Enter numerical value only.)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given Information: Volume: 200 mL Infusion time: 1 hour Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hour Infusion rate = Total volume / Infusion time Infusion rate = 200 mL / 1 hour = 200 mL/hour
