Calculation
A client receives a prescription for vancomycin 1 gram intravenously (IV) every 12 hours, which is to be infused over 2hrs. The IV bag contains vancomycin 1 gram in 250 mL dextrose 5% in water (D5W). The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numerical value only.)
mL/hour
Explanation & Rationale
Total volume to be infused = 250 mL Infusion time in hours = 2 hours Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour: Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours) = 250 mL / 2 hours = 125 mL/hour
