    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 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/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Volume to be infused (mL) / Time (hr) In this case: Volume to be infused = 100 mL Time = 1 hour Plugging the values into the formula: Infusion rate = 100 mL / 1 hour = 100 mL/hr
