question: 19 of 25
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.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

The formula for calculating the infusion rate (mL/hr) is $\frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (hr)}$.

Step2: Substitute the values

Here, the volume is $200$ mL and the time is $2$ hr. So, the infusion rate is $\frac{200}{2}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{200}{2}=100$ mL/hr.

Answer:

100
