A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 0.4 mg/kg/hr by continuous IV infusion to a client who weighs 82 kg. Available is furosemide in 50 mL of dextrose 5% in water with a final concentration of furosemide 1 mg/mL. The nurse should set the IV pump to administer how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Calculate the total desired dose of furosemide in milligrams per hour (mg/hr). Desired dose (mg/hr) = Desired dose (mg/kg/hr) × Weight (kg) = 0.4 mg/kg/hr × 82 kg = 32.8 mg/hr. Available concentration of the furosemide solution = 1 mg/mL. Calculate the volume in milliliters per hour (mL/hr) to administer. Volume (mL/hr) = Desired dose (mg/hr) / Available concentration (mg/mL) = 32.8 mg/hr / 1 mg/mL = 32.8 mL/hr.
