The correct answer is the urine output is 25 mL/hr.
The urine output is the amount of urine produced by a person hourly. The normal range for urine output is 800 to 2000 mL per day, meaning that the minimum rate of urine output should be approximately 30 mL/hr. Estimating the urine output can help monitor the kidney function and the levels of the body's hydration. Serious health problems could cause a decreased urine output, such as decreased blood supply to the kidneys or bladder and prostate problems. The patient has lower rate than normal and his/her fluid intake should be increased.
