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) 300 m to infuse over 2 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? Round to the nearest whole number. Enter numeric value only (numbers and decimal points only, no commas or labels)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Identify the given information: Total volume: 100 mL Time: 2 hours Determine the flow rate: We can set up a proportion to solve for the unknown flow rate (X): 100 mL/2 hr = X mL/1 hr Cross-multiplying gives us: 100 mL x 1 hr = 2 hr x X mL Simplifying: 100 = 2X Solving for X: X = 100 / 2 = 50 mL/hr
