Question 1 of 5
Jenny is a 7-year-old that weighs 64 lbs., who has an order for 1.5 times maintenance IV fluids for acute dehydration. What rate does the IV pump need to be set at?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 148 ml/hr.
To calculate the IV fluid rate, we first find Jenny's maintenance fluid requirement (1500 ml/day).
Then, we multiply this by 1.5 to account for acute dehydration, resulting in 2250 ml/day. Finally, we convert this to hourly rate by dividing by 24, giving us 93.75 ml/hr. However, since IV pumps typically deliver in whole numbers, we round up to the nearest whole number, making it 94 ml/hr.
Therefore, the IV pump needs to be set at 148 ml/hr to ensure Jenny receives the required fluids.
Choice A (87 ml/hr) is incorrect because it does not account for the 1.5 times increase needed for acute dehydration.
Choice B (98 ml/hr) and C (105 ml/hr) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculated hourly rate.
