Question 4 of 5

The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr for administering clindamycin 900 mg in 100 mL dextrose 5% over 30 minutes, you would use the formula: (
Total Volume in mL / Time in hours) = Rate in mL/hr. Since the medication needs to be administered over 30 minutes, you convert 30 minutes into hours, which is 0.5 hours. Using the formula, you get (100 mL / 0.5 hours) = 200 mL/hr.
