Question 1 of 5

The healthcare provider prescribes the antibiotic surgical prophylaxis protocol for a client who weighs 90 kg. The protocol is cefazolin 2 grams/100 mL 0.9% normal saline over 1 hour for clients weighing less than 265.5 pounds or cefazolin 3 grams/100 mL 0.9% normal saline over 90 minutes for clients weighing greater than 265.5 pounds. The nurse should program the pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter number value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.) The nurse should program the pump to deliver how many mL/hr?

Correct Answer: 100

Rationale: The client weighs 90 kg (198.45 pounds), which is less than 265.5 pounds, so the protocol is cefazolin 2 grams/100 mL over 1 hour. Infusion rate = 100 mL ÷ 1 hour = 100 mL/hr.
