    A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old child who has had 160 mL of urine output over the past 8 hour period. The child weighs 33 lb. After calculating the client's urinary output, which action is appropriate?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. There is no need to notify the provider if urine output is within the normal range. B. Oral rehydration may not be necessary if the child is adequately hydrated. C. A bladder scan is not required if the urine output is within the normal range. D. Continue to monitor the client as the urine output is within the normal range. For a 3-year-old child (15 kg), normal urine output is 1-2 mL/kg/hr. This child’s output is approximately 1.3 mL/kg/hr, which is normal.
