Question 5 of 5
Your client has a doctor's order for 1200 mLs of intravenous fluid every 8 hours. Your shift began at 8 am and there were 600 mLs remaining in the intravenous fluid bag. How many mLs would you expect to see at 12 noon?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To calculate: 1,200 mL ÷ 8 hours = 150 mL/hr. From 8 AM to 12 noon (4 hours), 4 × 150 = 600 mL infused. Starting with 600 mL, 600 - 600 = 0 mL remaining.
