A nurse is preparing to administer fluconazole 400 mg by intermittent IV bolus daily. Available is fluconazole 400 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) 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 tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["100"]

- Total volume to infuse: 200 mL

- Time for infusion: 2 hours

- The IV pump rate is calculated as: (Total Volume / Time) = Rate

- So, the calculation would be: (200 mL / 2 hr) = 100 mL/hr

- The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 100 mL/hr.
