    A nurse is preparing to administer ceftriaxone 1 g via IV bolus over 30 min. Available is 1 g ceftriaxone sodium in 100 mL dextrose 5% in water (D5W). 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 is (100 mL ÷ 30 min) × 60 min/hr. Step 2 is (100 mL ÷ 0.5 hr). Step 3 is 200 mL/hr. Answer: 200 mL/hr. .
