Prescribed is 80 mg of gentamicin in 50 mL to infuse in 30 minutes. The nurse would program the electronic infusion pump at what rate?

To calculate the infusion rate for gentamicin, the nurse needs to use the following formula: infusion rate (mL/h) = volume (mL) x 60 / time (min). Plugging in the given values, we get: infusion rate (mL/h) = 50 x 60 / 30 = 100. Therefore, the nurse would program the electronic infusion pump at 100 mL/h.
