The nurse is preparing to administer an IVPB medication to a client. The bag contains 200 mg of medication per 100 mL of solution
If the medication will infuse at the rate of 10 mg/min, how long will this infusion take to completely administer to the client? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
20 mins
Global rationale: mins = 1 min/10 mg x 200 mg. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. It will take 20 mins for this medication to completely infuse.
