The healthcare provider (HCP) prescribes cefepime 1 gram IV every 12 hours to be infused in 30 minutes. The IV bag contains "Cefepime 1 gram in 0.9% normal saline 50 mL." How many mL/hr should the nurse program the infusion pump deliver? (Enter numerical value only.)

Given: Volume of fluid: 50 mL Infusion time: 30 minutes Formula: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hr) Step 1: Convert infusion time from minutes to hours: Infusion time (hr) = 30 minutes / 60 minutes/hr Infusion time (hr) = 0.5 hour Step 2: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = 50 mL / 0.5 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 100 mL/hr
