Question 1:
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 250 mL IV to infuse over 15
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.). mL/hr.
Explanation
Correct Answer: 1000
Step 1 is to calculate the total volume to be infused in mL/hr. This is done by dividing
the total volume (250 mL) by the time in hours (15 min ÷ 60 min/hr). So, 250 mL ÷ (15
min ÷ 60 min/hr) = 1000 mL/hr.
So, the correct answer is 1000 mL/hr.

Question 2:
A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin 1g intermittent IV bolus in 0.9%
sodium chloride 250 mL over 30 min.
The drop factor on the manual IV tubing is 10 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the
manual IV flow rate to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the
nearest whole number.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.). gtt/min.
Explanation
Correct Answer: 83
Step 1 is to calculate the total volume to be infused in mL/min. This is done by dividing
the total volume (250 mL) by the time in minutes (30 min). So, 250 mL ÷ 30 min = 8.33
mL/min. Step 2 is to convert mL/min to gtt/min using the drop factor. So, (8.33 mL/min)
× (10 gtt/mL) = 83.3 gtt/min. Round off to the nearest whole number, the correct
answer is 83 gtt/min.

Usage dosage: Adults-250 to 500 mg IM qóh. READ ACCOMPANYING INSERT.
T tor. detailed indications, IM or IV dosage, and precautions.
Store the dry powder at 20° to 25° C (68° to 77° F) (See USP]). NDC 1234-1234-10.
Ampicillin for Injection, UŠP. 1 gram per vial.
For IM or IV Use.
End of label.
A. Instill 5 mL of diluent to the vial for reconstitution.
