3-year-old child with 160 mL urine output over 8 hours, weighing 33 lb.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old child who has had 160 mL of urine output over the past 8 hour period. The child weighs 33 lb. After calculating the client's urinary output, which action is appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Continue to monitor the client. In this scenario, the child's urine output is within normal range for their age and weight. The expected urine output for a 3-year-old is approximately 1-2 mL/kg/hr, which translates to about 400-800 mL over an 8-hour period for a 33 lb child.
Therefore, the nurse should continue to monitor the client's urine output for any significant changes before taking further action.
Choice A: Notifying the provider is not necessary at this point as the urine output is within normal limits.
Choice B: Providing oral rehydration fluids may not be indicated as the child's urine output is not significantly decreased.
Choice C: Performing a bladder scan is not necessary as the urine output has already been measured and found to be within the expected range.
