Calculation
A nurse is caring for a client who has infective endocarditis and a prescription for vancomycin 1 g in 250 mL dextrose 5% over 2 hr by IV intermittent bolus. The nurse should set 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
Step 1 is (250 mL ÷ 120 min) × 60 min/hr. Step 2 is (250 mL ÷ 2 hr). Step 3 is 125 mL/hr. Answer: 125 mL/hr.
