Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has infective endocarditis and a prescription for vancomycin 1 g in 250 mL dextrose 5% over 2 hr by IV intermittent bolus. 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: B
Rationale:
To calculate the rate of infusion for the vancomycin IV, we use the formula: (Volume to be infused in mL) / (Time for infusion in hours). In this case, the volume is 250 mL over 2 hours, so 250 / 2 = 125 mL/hr.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
Choice A is incorrect as it is too low.
Choices C and D are incorrect as they are too high.
