A nurse is calculating the intake of a client during the past 9 hr. The client's intake includes lactated Ringer's IV at 150 mL/hr. cefazolin 2 g IV intermittent bolus in 100 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride. two units of packed RBCs of 275 mL and 250 mL; two IV bolus infusions of 250 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride, famotidine 20 mg IV intermittent bolus in 50 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride. How many mL of intake should the nurse record?
Correct answer
2525
Rationale
The nurse should record 2525 mL of intake. To calculate, add the intake from lactated Ringer's IV (150 mL/hr x 9 hr = 1350 mL), cefazolin (100 mL), packed RBCs (275 mL + 250 mL = 525 mL), sodium chloride bolus infusions (250 mL + 250 mL = 500 mL), and famotidine (50 mL). Therefore, 1350 mL + 100 mL + 525 mL + 500 mL + 50 mL = 2525 mL. Other choices are incorrect because they do not add up correctly based on the given information.
