    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin IVPB over 30 min. Available is cefazolin 1 g in 100 mL of dextrose 5% in water (DSW). The nurse should set the IV infusion 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 = 100 mL, Time = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours Step 2: Use the formula mL/hour = Total volume ÷ Time (in hours) Step 3: Insert values = 100 ÷ 0.5 Step 4: Calculate = 200 mL/hour
