Question 4 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: Calculation: 500 mL/hr × 3 hr = 1500 mL; 200 mL/hr × 3 hr = 600 mL; 75 mL/hr × 2 hr = 150 mL.
Total = 1500 + 600 + 150 = 2250 mL.
