A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g via intermittent IV bolus. Availableis ampicillin/sulbactam 1.5 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL to infuse over 30 min. The nurse should s... et 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/hrMY ANSWERFollow 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) X hr = 0.5 hr Step 5: Set up an equation and solve for X. X mL/hr = 200 mL/hrStep 6: Round ifnecessary. Step 7: Determinewhether 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. Follow these steps to calculate the infusion rate using the Desired Over Have 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 [Show More]
