A client scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery is to receive an intravenous infusion of 1 gram of cefazolin in 50 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride, USP over 30 minutes. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only, as a whole number.)

Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Volume (mL) / Time (hour) The nurse plugs in the values and gets: Infusion rate (mL/hour) = 50 mL / 0.5 hour Infusion rate (mL/hour) = 100 mL/hour Therefore, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 100 mL/hour of cefazolin solution to the client.
