    Calculation

    A nurse is calculating fluid input for a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride at 125 mL/hr and cefazolin 50 mL IV bolus every 4 hr. How many mL did the client receive per IV infusion over the past 24 hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Stepwise Calculation: Step 1: Continuous IV fluid 125 mL/hr × 24 hr = 3,000 mL Step 2: Cefazolin IV bolus 24 hr ÷ 4 hr = 6 doses 50 mL × 6 doses = 300 mL Step 3: Total fluid 3,000 mL + 300 mL = 3,300 mL Step 4: Final answer 3,300 mL
