    Calculation

    A nurse is reviewing a client's intake and output and notes the following: 0.9% sodium chloride 600 mL IV infusion, cefazolin 250 mg in dextrose 5% in water 100 mL intermittent IV bolus, 200 mL emesis, 40 mL voided urine, and 20 mL urine from straight catheterization. The nurse should record the difference between the intake and output as how many mL? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Total Intake: 0.9% sodium chloride IV infusion = 600 mL Cefazolin in D5W IV bolus = 100 mL Total intake = 600 + 100 = 700 mL Total Output: Emesis = 200 mL Voided urine = 40 mL Straight catheter urine = 20 mL Total output = 200 + 40 + 20 = 260 mL Difference (Intake - Output): 700 mL - 260 mL = 440 mL Final Answer: 440 mL
