Question 1 of 5

A client with a gram-positive bacterial skin infection is receiving daptomycin 500 mg IV every 24 hours. The pharmacy delivers a secondary infusion of 0.9% Sodium Chloride with daptomycin 500 mg/100 mL to be infused in 30 minutes. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump?(Enter the numerical value only.)

Correct Answer: 200

Rationale: The correct answer is 200 mL/hour.
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (mL/hour) = (mL/minute) x 60. Substituting the given values, we get: (mL/hour) = (100 / 30) x 60. Simplifying, we get: (mL/hour) = 3.333 x 60. (mL/hour) = 200.
Therefore, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 200 mL/hour of daptomycin in 0.9% Sodium Chloride.
