Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin 500 mg via intermittent IV bolus over 30 min. Available is 500 mg ampicillin in 50 ml. dextrose 5% in water (DSW). The nurse should set the 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: Identify total volume and infusion time Total volume = 50 mL Infusion time = 30 minutes Step 2: Use the formula for IV flow rate Flow rate (mL/hr) = (Total volume ÷ Time in minutes) × 60 Flow rate = (50 ÷ 30) × 60 Flow rate = 1.6667 × 60 Flow rate = 100 mL/hr Final Answer: 100 mL/hr
