Solutions

Expert Solution

Given,
Physician ordered : Cleocin 2.5 g in 150 ml of D5W IVPB to be infuse over 30 minutes.
Weight of patient is 88 kg

Now, 60 min= 1 hour
1 min= 1/60 hour
30 min =(1/60) ×30 hours
=0.5 hour

Infusion rate (in ml/hr) =(volume of D5W IVPB)/total Infusion time in hour
=150 ml /0.5 hr
=300 ml/hr
So, the pump should be set at rate of 300 ml/hr.
