    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 infuse = 100 mL Infusion time = 30 minutes Convert infusion time to hours: 1hr = 60 minutes 30 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 0.5 hours Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours) = 100 mL / 0.5 hours = 200 mL/hr
