A nurse is preparing to administer fluconazole 400 mg by intermittent IV bolus daily. Available is fluconazole 400 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) 200 mL to infuse over 2 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

To calculate the IV pump rate for administering fluconazole 400 mg over 2 hours, we first need to determine the infusion rate in mL/hr. The formula is: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) ├À Total time (hr). In this case, the total volume is 200 mL and the total time is 2 hours. So, Infusion rate = 200 mL ├À 2 hr = 100 mL/hr. Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 100 mL/hr to administer the fluconazole 400 mg over 2 hours accurately.

Choices B, C, D, E, F, G are incorrect because they do not calculate the correct infusion rate using the given total volume and total time. These choices do not follow the correct formula for calculating IV pump rates, leading to inaccurate administration of the medication.
