Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer gentamicin 200 mg infusion over 1 hr to a child. Available is gentamicin 200 mg in 100 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL per hour? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL/hour
Explanation & Rationale
To determine the infusion rate. Step 1 is (100 mL ÷ 60 min) × 60 min/hr. Step 2 is (100 mL ÷ 60 min) = 1.67 mL/min. Step 3 is 1.67 mL/min × 60 min/hr = 100 mL/hr. Step 4 is to round the answer to the nearest whole number, which is 100. Answer: 100 mL/hr.
