Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer vancomycin 500 mg via intermittent IV infusion every 6 hr. Available is vancomycin 500 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 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: 50
Rationale:
To calculate the IV pump rate for vancomycin infusion, first determine the total infusion time (2 hours).
Then, calculate the total volume to be infused (100 mL). Divide the total volume by the total infusion time to get the rate in mL/hr. In this case, 100 mL รท 2 hours = 50 mL/hr.
Therefore, the IV pump should be set to deliver 50 mL/hr to administer vancomycin 500 mg every 6 hours. Other choices are incorrect because they do not result from the correct calculation based on the given parameters.
