Question

When the nurse arrives at 8:00 am, a client has a 1000 ml bag of d5w hanging, with 450 ml infused during the prior shift. the iv infusion is to deliver 100 ml per hour. at 11:00 am the healthcare provider changes the prescription for the intravenous solution to 1000 ml 0.9% sodium chloride to be administered at 75 ml per hour and changes the dietary order from nothing by mouth to clear liquids. from 1:00 pm to the end of the 12-hour shift at 8:00 pm, the client has 4 oz (120 ml) of apple juice, a half cup of tea, a half cup of gelatin, and 6 oz (180 ml) of water. how many milliliters should the nurse document as the client's total fluid intake for the 12-hour shift? record your answer using a whole number?

Answer 1

Starting from the fact that the food intake is exclusively by mouth, the client in a 12-hour shift ingested 450 ml, taking the 120 ml of apple juice, 75 ml of half a cup of tea, 75 ml of half a cup of jelly and 180 ml of water.
