A nurse is calculating the intake of a client during the past 9 hr. The client's intake includes lactated Ringer's IV at 125 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, ranitidine 50 mg IV intermittent bolus in 50 mL of dextrose 5% in water. How many mL of intake should the nurse record?

Calculation of Total Intake (mL) Continuous IV Infusion (Lactated Ringer's) Rate: 125 mL/hr Time: 9 hr Volume = 125 mL/hr x 9 hr} =1,125 mL Intermittent IV Medications Cefazolin infusion volume: 100 mL Ranitidine infusion volume: 50 mL Blood Products (Packed RBCs) Unit 1 volume: 275 mL Unit 2 volume: 250 mL IV Fluid Boluses Bolus 1 volume: 250 mL Bolus 2 volume: 250 mL Calculate Total Intake Total Intake = 1,125 mL + 100 mL + 50 mL + 275 mL + 250 mL + 250 mL + 250 mL Total Intake = 2,475 mL
