Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider prescribes ganciclovir 375 mg intravenously (IV) every 12 hours to infuse over 90 minutes. The pharmacy delivers ganciclovir 375 mg in a 150 mL IV bag. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump?(Enter a whole number only.)
Correct Answer: 100
Rationale: The correct answer is 100 mL/hour.
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (mL/hour) = (mL/minute) x 60. Substituting the given values, we get: (mL/hour) = (150 / 90) x 60. Simplifying, we get: (mL/hour) = 1.667 x 60. (mL/hour) = 100.
Therefore, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 100 mL/hour of ganciclovir in IV bag.
