    Calculation

    At 2100, a client meets sepsis criteria BP 98/52, HR 132, RR 33, core temp 102.1 (38.9 C), pulse ox 92% on 4L with a serum lactate of 4.5. The patient weighs 176.3 pounds. IV 0.9 NSS is prescribed 30 mL/kg over 3 hours. What is the total volume the patient should receive in 3 hours? (Round to the nearest whole number, do not use trailing zeros.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Convert weight from pounds to kilograms 176.3 lb ÷ 2.2 = 80.136 kg Step 2: Multiply by the prescribed fluid rate 80.136 kg × 30 mL/kg = 2,404.08 mL Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number Total volume = 2,403 mL Answer: 2,403 mL
