Calculation
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is scheduled for a cesarean birth. The nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin gin 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL via Intermittent IV bolus over 15 min. The nurse should see the IV pump 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: 15 minutes Steps to solve: Determine the flow rate in mL/min: Set up a proportion to solve for the unknown flow rate (X): 100 mL/15 min = X mL/1 min Cross-multiplying gives us: 100 mL x 1 min = 15 min x X mL Simplifying: 100 = 15X Solving for X: X = 100 / 15 = 6.67 mL/min Convert to mL/hr: 6.67 mL/min x 60 min/hr = 400 mL/hr
