Question 6 :
A client with angina pectoris is receiving intravenous (IV) nitroglycerin 50 mg/250 mL of D5W to be infused over 24 hours via pump. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: ["10 mL\/h"]
To calculate the infusion rate, we need to use the formula:
Infusion rate (mL/h) = Volume (mL) / Time (h)
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Infusion rate (mL/h) = 250 mL / 24 h
Simplifying, we get:
Infusion rate (mL/h) = 10.42 mL/h
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:
Infusion rate (mL/h) = 10 mL/h
