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/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Total volume to infuse = 100 mL. Infusion time = 30 minutes = 30 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 0.5 hours. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total time (hr) = 100 mL / 0.5 hr = 200 mL/hr.
