Question 5 of 5
Since 1400, your client has had medication given through her NG tube at 1800. The Ampicillin was 20mL, the Pepcid was 10mL, and the Reglan was 15mL. Between each medication and after the last medication, there was a 30 mL flush of water. At 2000, she was given 240mL of water by mouth. Her IV was infusing @ 150ml/hour for 8 hours since the last 1&0 was done. What is her intake for 2200? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Total intake = 45mL (medications) + 90mL (flushes) + 240mL (oral water) + 1200mL (IV fluid) = 1575 mL.
