I'm new in the med-surg unit. The nurses asked me to set up the IV pump to infuse prefilled syringes. I am confused as to what to set the rates at. Each nurse tells me something different. (yes, I know I can IV push the first two questions) I do the math, but I do not come up with what they want me to set the rate at.
1) Prefilled syringe 10 ml to infuse over one minute. (I can't remember the med on this one) What is the rate set at?
2) Pepsid 20mg in prefilled syringe of 10 ml, infuse over 2 minutes. Rate?
3) Prefilled syringe 30 ml, infuse over 30 minutes. Rate?
Thanks for your help
