A school-aged client is receiving vancomycin, 400 mg IV every 6 hours for a Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection. The medication is diluted in a 100 mL bag of 0.9% sodium chloride with instructions to infuse over one and a half hours. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Please enter the numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.

Step 1: Convert the volume of fluid to be infused from mL to mL (since the rate is usually measured in mL/hr): 100 mL = 100 mL (No conversion needed as the volume is already in mL) Step 2: Convert the time for infusion from hours to hours (since the rate is usually measured in mL/hr): 1.5 hours = 1.5 hours (No conversion needed as the time is already in hours) Step 3: Calculate the rate (volume ÷ time): Rate = Volume ÷ Time Rate = 100 mL ÷ 1.5 hours Rate = 66.67 mL/hr So, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver at a rate of 67 mL/hr (rounded to the nearest whole number
