Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To infuse a 50 ml bolus in 30 minutes, the rate should be calculated as follows: 50 ml / 30 min = 100 ml per hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is to set the pump rate at 100 ml per hour for one hour.
Choice A is the correct rate based on the calculation.
Choices B, C, and D all provide incorrect rates that do not match the physician's order.
Choice B would only deliver 30 ml in 30 minutes, not the ordered 50 ml.
Choice C would deliver 120 ml in one hour, which is 20 ml more than ordered.
Choice D would only provide 25 ml over 30 minutes, not the full 50 ml prescribed.
