PN VATI Pharmacology Exam-with 100% verified answers-2022 Question: 60 of 60 INCORRECT FLAG • Time Remaining: 00:13:03 • Pause Remaining: 00:05:00 PAUSE ... A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g via intermittent IV bolus. Available is ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL to infuse over 30 min. The nurse should set the IV infusion 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.) mL/hr MY ANSWER Follow these steps to calculate the infusion rate using the Ratio and Proportion method of calculation: Step 1: What is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate? mL/hr Step 2: What is the volume the nurse should infuse? 100 mL Step 3: What is the total infusion time? 30 min Step 4: Should the nurse convert the units of measurement? Yes (min does not equal hr) 60 min 30 min = 1 hr X X hr = 0.5 hr Step 5: Set up an equation and solve for X. Volume (mL) X mL/hr = Time (hr) X mL/hr = 100 mL X mL/hr = 200 mL/hr Step 6: Round if 0.5 hr necessary. Step 7: Determine whether the amount to administer makes sense. If the prescription reads ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL to infuse over 30 min, it makes sense to administer 200 mL/hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL at 200 mL/hr.
