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
Step 1: Identify total volume and infusion time Total volume = 100 mL Infusion time = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours Step 2: Use the formula for IV flow rate Flow rate (mL/hr) = Total volume ÷ Time (hr) Flow rate = 100 ÷ 0.5 Flow rate = 200 mL/hr Final Answer: 200 mL/hr
