    Calculation

    A nurse is calculating the intake of a client during the past hr. The client's intake includes lactated Ringer's IV at 150 mL/hr, cefazolin 2gIV 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

    Calculation: Identify all sources of fluid intake. Lactated Ringer's IV: 150 mL (from 150 mL/hr rate) Cefazolin IV bolus: 100 mL Packed RBCs: 275 mL + 250 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride IV bolus: 250 mL + 250 mL Famotidine IV bolus: 50 mL Add all the volumes together to find the total intake. Total intake (mL) = 150 + 100 + 275 + 250 + 250 + 250 + 50 = 1325 mL.
