Question

a nurse is calculating the intake and output for a client over the last 8 hr. the client is receiving a continuous iv infusion at 150 ml/hr and had 4 oz of juice and 0.5 l of water. how many ml of fluid should the nurse document as the client’s intake for the last 8 hr? (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate IV infusion volume

The IV infusion rate is 150 mL/hr for 8 hours. So volume from IV is $150\times8 = 1200$ mL.

Step2: Convert juice volume to mL

1 oz is approximately 29.57 mL, so 4 oz of juice is $4\times29.57 = 118.28$ mL.

Step3: Convert water volume to mL

0.5 L is equal to $0.5\times1000 = 500$ mL.

Step4: Sum all volumes

Total intake = IV volume + juice volume + water volume = $1200 + 118.28 + 500 = 1818.28$ mL, rounded to nearest whole number is 1818 mL.

Answer:

1818
