    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer ceftriaxone 1 g via intermittent IV bolus over 30 min. Available is 1 g ceftriaxone sodium in 100 mL dextrose 5% in water. The nurse should set the 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/hr.

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Total volume = 100 mL. Infusion time = 30 minutes = 30 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 0.5 hours. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total time (hr) = 100 mL / 0.5 hr = 200 mL/hr.
