RN HESI Dosage Calculations II Proctored Exam
Calculation
A client with a gram-positive bacterial skin infection is receiving daptomycin 500 mg IV every 24 hours. The pharmacy delivers a secondary infusion of 0.9% Sodium Chloride with daptomycin 500 mg/100 mL to be infused in 30 minutes. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter the numerical value only.)
mL/hour
Explanation & Rationale
- To calculate the infusion rate, divide the volume of the solution by the infusion time in hours: 500 mg/100 mL / 0.5 hour = 200 mL/hour - The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 200 mL/hour of daptomycin solution - The answer is 200 (mL/hour)
