The bolus rate for D5W (5% dextrose in water) can vary based on the clinical situation and patient condition. Generally, a bolus can be administered at a rate of 100 to 150 mL/hour, but in emergency situations, it may be given more rapidly under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Always consult protocols or a physician for specific patient needs.
