Calculation
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? (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 to be infused = 100 mL. Infusion time in minutes = 30 min. Convert the infusion time from minutes to hours. Infusion time in hours = 30 min / 60 min/hr = 0.5 hr. Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour. Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 100 mL / 0.5 hr = 200 mL/hr.
