Simulated
The client diagnosed with Cushing's disease has developed 1++ peripheral edema. The client has received intravenous fluids at 100 mL/hr via IV pump for the past 79 hours. The client received intravenous piggyback (IVPB) medication in 50 mL of fluid every six (6) hours for 15 doses. How many mL of fluid did the client receive?
Correct answer
8650 mL
Rationale
Continuous IV: 100 mL/hr × 79 hr = 7900 mL. IVPB: 50 mL × 15 doses = 750 mL. Total = 7900 + 750 = 8650 mL.
