The client is also receiving dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride 30 mL\/hr by continuous IV infusion. Calculate the client&#8217;s intake for that 4-hr period in ml. (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-6-color\">The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate the client&#8217;s total intake for the 4-hour period, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Convert all fluid intake to milliliters (mL)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The client\u2019s fluid intake includes milk, orange juice, tea, and water. To sum these, first convert each fluid from ounces (oz) to milliliters (mL), using the conversion factor that 1 ounce equals approximately 29.5735 milliliters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> 3\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=88.721\u00a0mL3 \\text{ oz} \\times 29.5735 \\text{ mL\/oz} = 88.721 \\text{ mL}3\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=88.721\u00a0mL Rounded to the nearest whole number: 89 mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Orange Juice:<\/strong> 2\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=59.147\u00a0mL2 \\text{ oz} \\times 29.5735 \\text{ mL\/oz} = 59.147 \\text{ mL}2\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=59.147\u00a0mL Rounded to the nearest whole number: 59 mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tea:<\/strong> 3\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=88.721\u00a0mL3 \\text{ oz} \\times 29.5735 \\text{ mL\/oz} = 88.721 \\text{ mL}3\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=88.721\u00a0mL Rounded to the nearest whole number: 89 mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> 4\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=118.294\u00a0mL4 \\text{ oz} \\times 29.5735 \\text{ mL\/oz} = 118.294 \\text{ mL}4\u00a0oz\u00d729.5735\u00a0mL\/oz=118.294\u00a0mL Rounded to the nearest whole number: 118 mL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Add these values to get the total oral intake: 89&nbsp;mL+59&nbsp;mL+89&nbsp;mL+118&nbsp;mL=355&nbsp;mL89 \\text{ mL} + 59 \\text{ mL} + 89 \\text{ mL} + 118 \\text{ mL} = 355 \\text{ mL}89&nbsp;mL+59&nbsp;mL+89&nbsp;mL+118&nbsp;mL=355&nbsp;mL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Calculate the intravenous (IV) fluid intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The client is receiving dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride at a rate of 30 mL\/hr. Over 4 hours, the total intake from the IV infusion is: 30&nbsp;mL\/hr\u00d74&nbsp;hours=120&nbsp;mL30 \\text{ mL\/hr} \\times 4 \\text{ hours} = 120 \\text{ mL}30&nbsp;mL\/hr\u00d74&nbsp;hours=120&nbsp;mL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Compute the total fluid intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sum the oral intake and the IV infusion: 355&nbsp;mL+120&nbsp;mL=475&nbsp;mL355 \\text{ mL} + 120 \\text{ mL} = 475 \\text{ mL}355&nbsp;mL+120&nbsp;mL=475&nbsp;mL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The total fluid intake for the 4-hour period is <strong>475 mL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This calculation combines the client&#8217;s fluid consumption from various sources and their intravenous fluid intake. By converting ounces to milliliters and summing all sources of fluid, you ensure an accurate total of the client\u2019s intake. This is crucial for proper fluid balance monitoring, which is essential in managing the client\u2019s hydration status and overall health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is caring for a client who consumes 3 oz of milk, 2 oz of orange juice, 3 oz of tea, and 4 oz of water over a 4-hr period.
