Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin 300 mg by intermittent IV bolus over 30 min to a client who has a staphylococci infection. Available is clindamycin 300mg premixed in 50 mL 0.90% sodium chloride (NaCl). The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 100 mL/hr.
To calculate the IV pump rate, first determine the total volume to be infused over 30 minutes, which is 50 mL.
Then, convert 30 minutes to hours (30 min/60 min = 0.5 hours). Next, divide the total volume by the time in hours (50 mL / 0.5 hours = 100 mL/hr). This rate ensures the clindamycin 300 mg is administered correctly over 30 minutes.
Summary of incorrect choices:
A: 50 mL/hr - Incorrect as it does not take into account the total volume to be infused.
B: 75 mL/hr - Incorrect as it does not consider the duration of the infusion.
D: 125 mL/hr - Incorrect as it would infuse the medication too quickly.
E, F, G: Not applicable as they were not provided.
