    A nurse is preparing to administer Cefazolin 300 mg diluted in 200 mL IV to be infused over 2 hours. After calculating the appropriate flow rate, what mL/hr should the nurse set on the infusion pump to ensure safe and accurate delivery?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Identify the total volume and the total time Total Volume: 200 mL Total Time: 2 hours Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr Flow Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume (mL) ÷ Total Time (hr) Flow Rate = 200 ÷ 2 = 100 mL/hr
