RN HESI Dosage Calculations II Proctored Exam
Calculation
The healthcare provider prescribes ganciclovir 375 mg intravenously (IV) every 12 hours to infuse over 90 minutes. The pharmacy delivers ganciclovir 375 mg in a 150 mL IV bag. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter a whole number only.)
mL/hour
Explanation & Rationale
- Calculate the infusion rate using the formula: mL/hour = (mL x 60) / minutes - Plug in the given values: mL/hour = (150 x 60) / 90 - Simplify and solve: mL/hour = 100 - The nurse should program the infusion pump to 100 mL/hour
