    A nurse is preparing to administer ceftriaxone 1 g intermittent IV bolus to a client over 30 min. Available is ceftriaxone 1 g in 100 mL of dextrose 5% in water. The nurse should set the pump to deliver how many mL per hr?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: 100 mL ÷ 30 min × 60 min/hr = 200 mL/hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to 200 mL/hr to deliver 100 mL over 30 minutes.
