NURS_533-01_SU25 Pediatric Final Proctored Exam
Calculation
You are calculating the intake for a 10 month old infant for the past 4 hours. She is on a clear liquid diet in the past 4 hours she has taken 6.5 ounces of water from a sippy cup. She also ate an entire 2 ounce Pedialyte ice pop and 1/4 cup of jello. Her maintenance IV fluids are running at a rate of 18 ml/hr. She received a dose of Ceftriaxone 400mg/50ml via IV piggyback two hours ago. What is the total intake for this patient in the past 4 hours. Please put your answer in MILLILITERS and round to the nearest WHOLE number.
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Identify all fluid sources and convert volumes to milliliters (mL). Water intake: 6.5 ounces x 30 mL/ounce = 195 mL. Pedialyte ice pop intake: 2 ounces x 30 mL/ounce = 60 mL. Jello intake: 1/4 cup x 240 mL/cup = 60 mL. Maintenance IV fluids: 18 mL/hour x 4 hours = 72 mL. Ceftriaxone IV piggyback: The entire volume of the bag is counted, which is 50 mL. Add all the volumes together to find the total intake. Total intake = 195 mL + 60 mL + 60 mL + 72 mL + 50 mL = 437 mL.
