ATI Nurs 243 Pediatrics Exam Questions

Extract:

Antibiotic infusion via syringe pump, total volume 18 mL, to run over 90 minutes.


Question 1 of 5

The nurse must administer the following antibiotic via syringe pump. The infusion is to run over 90 minutes. The nurse calculates the infusion rate and sets the pump for the following rate

Correct Answer: 12 mL/hr

Rationale: The correct answer is 12 mL/hr.
To calculate the infusion rate for a 90-minute infusion, we first convert the time to hours (90 minutes = 1.5 hours).
Then, we divide the total volume to be infused (in mL) by the infusion time in hours. In this case, if the infusion is to run over 90 minutes, the calculation would be:
Total volume รท Infusion time = X mL/hr.
Therefore, if the total volume is not given, we cannot determine the infusion rate accurately.

Choices A to G are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation method or do not provide a rate that is consistent with a 90-minute infusion.
