Calculation
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is in labor and is receiving penicillin G 5.000.000 units via intermittent IV bolus over 60 min. Available is penicillin G 5,000,000 units in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL. The nurse should ensure that the IV pump is set to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Given: Total volume: 100 mL Time: 60 minutes Steps to solve: Determine the flow rate: Set up a proportion to solve for the unknown flow rate (X): 100 mL/60 min = X mL/1 min Cross-multiplying gives us: 100 mL x 1 min = 60 min x X mL Simplifying: 100 = 60X Solving for X: X = 100 / 60 = 1.67 mL/min Convert to mL/hr: 1.67 mL/min x 60 min/hr = 100 mL/hr
