A nurse is preparing to administer propranolol 2 mg by intermittent IV bolus over 15 min. Available is propranolol 2 mg in 50 mL dextrose 5% in water. 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.)
Type your answer below
Explanation
Total volume to be infused = 50 mL. Infusion time in minutes = 15 min. Convert the infusion time from minutes to hours. Infusion time in hours = 15 min / 60 min/hr = 0.25 hr. Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour. Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 50 mL / 0.25 hr = 200 mL/hr.
