Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetic ketoacidosis. During the shift, the client received 0.45% sodium chloride IV at 500 mL/hr for 3 hr, then at 200 mL/hr for 3 hr, and then dextrose 5% in water at 75 mL/hr for 2 hr. What is the total volume the nurse should document for the client's IV fluid intake? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 2250
Rationale: The correct answer is 2250.
To calculate the total volume, you add the volumes from each rate: 0.45% sodium chloride at 500 mL/hr for 3 hr (500*3=1500 mL), then at 200 mL/hr for 3 hr (200*3=600 mL), and finally dextrose 5% in water at 75 mL/hr for 2 hr (75*2=150 mL). Adding these together (1500+600+150=2250 mL) gives the total fluid intake. The other choices are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total volume based on the rates and durations provided.
