    A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin 300 mg intravenously over 30 min to a client who has septicemia. Available is clindamycin premixed in 50 mL D5W (Dextrose 5% in Water). The nurse should set the IV 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 300 mg ÷ (50 mL ÷ 30 min). Step 2 is 300 ÷ 1.67. Answer: 150 mL/hr.
