A nurse is preparing to administer D5W at a rate of 75 mL/hr to a 10-year-old patient. After 12 hours of infusion, how much total fluid will the patient have received, and what clinical consideration is most important when evaluating this volume for a pediatric patient? Please round to the nearest whole number.

Calculation: Identify the hourly infusion rate and the total infusion time Infusion Rate: 75 mL/hr Infusion Time: 12 hours Calculate the total volume of fluid received Total Volume = Infusion Rate * Total Time Total Volume = 75 * 12 = 900 mL Identify the most important clinical consideration For a pediatric patient, receiving 900 mL over 12 hours requires close monitoring for fluid sensitivity. The nurse must assess for signs of fluid overload, such as edema, increased blood pressure, or pulmonary congestion (crackles in lungs).
