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
Calculation: Calculate the total volume from the continuous IV infusion Continuous IV: 0.9% sodium chloride at 125 mL/hr × 24 hr Volume = 125 × 24 Volume = 3,000 mL Calculate the total volume from the IV bolus of cefazolin IV Bolus: 50 mL every 4 hr: 24 ÷ 4 = 6 doses Total Bolus Volume = 50 × 6 Total Bolus Volume = 300 mL Calculate the total IV fluid Total IV Fluid = Continuous IV + IV Bolus Total IV Fluid = 3,000 + 300 = 3,300 mL
