    Calculation

    A nurse is caring for client who has sepsis and a prescription for vancomycin 1 g in 250 mL dextrose 5% (DW) 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/hour

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Identify total volume and time Total volume = 250 mL, Time = 2 hours Step 2: Use the formula mL/hour = Total volume ÷ Time Step 3: Insert values = 250 ÷ 2 Step 4: Calculate = 125 mL/hour
