    Calculation

    A client scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery is to receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of 1 gram 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.)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given Information: Volume: 50 mL Infusion time: 30 minutes Calculate the total infusion time in hours 30 minutes / 60 min/hour = 0.5 hours Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hour Infusion rate = Total volume / Infusion time Infusion rate = 50 mL / 0.5 hours = 100 mL/hour
