    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer ciprofloxacin 400 mg by intermittent IV infusion to a client over 60 min. Available is ciprofloxacin 400 mg in dextrose 5% in water (DSW) 200 mL. 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

    Answer: 200 mL/hr Calculation: Identify the total volume to be infused and the infusion time Total Volume: 200 mL Infusion Time: 60 minutes (1 hour) Calculate the infusion rate Infusion Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume ÷ Time (hr) Infusion Rate = 200 ÷ 1 Infusion Rate = 200 mL/hr
