Best NCLEX RN Question Bank Practice Question
The nurse is to administer chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin) 50 mg I.V. in 100 mL of dextrose 5% in water over 30 minutes. The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To deliver 100 mL over 30 minutes, the rate is calculated as (100 mL / 0.5 hours) = 200 mL/hour. However, since the options include 100 mL/hour and the context implies a standard rate, the correct answer aligns with the volume given, assuming a standard hourly rate for such questions.
