Ati rn dosage calculation rn maternal newborn proctored assessment 3.2
Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin 1 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL via intermittent IV bolus over 15 min to a client who is scheduled for a cesarean birth. 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
Total Volume: 100 mL Total Time: 15 min Convert the infusion time from minutes to hours. Time (hr) = 15 min / 60 min/hr = 0.25 hr. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total time (hr) = 100 mL / 0.25 hr = 400 mL/hr.
