    Calculation

    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 2g 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, and famotidine 20 mg IV intermittent bolus in 50 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride. How many mL of intake should the nurse record?

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: Lactated Ringer's IV = 150 mL/hr × 9 hr = 1350 mL Cefazolin IV intermittent bolus = 100 mL Packed RBCs = 275 mL + 250 mL = 525 mL Two IV bolus infusions of 0.9% NaCl = 250 mL × 2 = 500 mL Famotidine IV intermittent bolus = 50 mL Total intake = 1350 + 100 + 525 + 500 + 50 = 2525 mL Final Answer: 2525 mL
