    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer fluconazole 400 mg by intermittent IV bolus daily. Available is fluconazole 400 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) 200 mL to infuse over 2 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/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 = 200 mL Infusion time = 2 hours Step 2: Use the formula for IV flow rate Flow rate (mL/hr) = Total volume ÷ Time (hr) Flow rate = 200 ÷ 2 Flow rate = 100 mL/hr Final Answer: 100 mL/hr
