Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 500 mg by intermittent bolus over 60 min. Available is metronidazole 500 mg in 100 mL 0.9% sodium chloride. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (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
Total volume to be infused = 100 mL. Infusion time in minutes = 60 min. Convert the infusion time from minutes to hours. Infusion time in hours = 60 min / 60 min/hr = 1 hr. Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour. Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 100 mL / 1 hr = 100 mL/hr.
