Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer fluconazole 400 mg by intermittent IV bolus daily. Available is fluconazole 400 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) 200 mL to infuse over 2 hr. 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 mL/hr rate for fluconazole infusion, we first convert the total volume (200 mL) and infusion time (2 hours) into mL/hr rate.
200 mL รท 2 hours = 100 mL/hr.
Therefore, the IV pump should be set to deliver 100 mL/hr. This ensures the correct administration of fluconazole over the designated 2-hour period.
Choice A (80 mL/hr) is incorrect as it would result in a slower infusion and potentially underdosing the patient.
Choices C, D, and the rest are incorrect as they are not the calculated rate based on the given information.
In summary, the correct answer is B (100 mL/hr) as it aligns with the calculated infusion rate for the fluconazole administration.
