a nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin 300 mg by intermittent iv bolus every 8 hr. available is clindamycin injection 300 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride (0.9% nacl) 50 ml to infuse over 45 min. the nurse should set the iv 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.)

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert infusion time to hours

Since (1) hour ( = 60) minutes, then (t=\frac{45}{60}= 0.75) hours.

Step2: Use the formula (Rate=\frac{Volume}{Time})

The volume (V = 50) mL and the time (t=0.75) hours. So, (Rate=\frac{50}{0.75}=\frac{50\times4}{3}=\frac{200}{3}\approx67) mL/hr.
