    Calculation

    A patient who has cystitis has been told to drink at least 30 mL for each kilogram of body weight. Her weight is 154 lb. How many mL per day should the nurse instruct the patient to drink?

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 154 lb ÷ 2.2 lb/kg = 70 kg. Step 2 is 70 kg × 30 mL/kg = 2100 mL. Final calculated answer is 2100.
