The nurse calculates the client's intake and output for the shift (above). Calculate the client's fluid balance, in milliliters, for the 8 -hour shift. Record your answer using a whole number. 410410

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Fluid intake includes both oral and intravenous fluids.
2. Fluid output includes urine and stool.
3. Stool output is considered as 1 unit, which needs to be converted to milliliters if necessary.
4. The fluid balance is calculated as total intake minus total output.

STEP 2

1. Calculate total fluid intake.
2. Calculate total fluid output.
3. Compute fluid balance by subtracting total output from total intake.

STEP 3

Calculate total oral intake:
360 ml+120 ml+120 ml+240 ml+120 ml=960 ml 360 \, \text{ml} + 120 \, \text{ml} + 120 \, \text{ml} + 240 \, \text{ml} + 120 \, \text{ml} = 960 \, \text{ml}

STEP 4

Calculate total intravenous intake:
250 ml+150 ml=400 ml 250 \, \text{ml} + 150 \, \text{ml} = 400 \, \text{ml}

STEP 5

Calculate total fluid intake:
960 ml+400 ml=1360 ml 960 \, \text{ml} + 400 \, \text{ml} = 1360 \, \text{ml}

STEP 6

Calculate total urine output:
400 ml 400 \, \text{ml}

STEP 7

Assume stool output of 1 unit is equivalent to 100 ml (if not specified, this is a common assumption):
1×100 ml=100 ml 1 \times 100 \, \text{ml} = 100 \, \text{ml}

STEP 8

Calculate total fluid output:
400 ml+100 ml=500 ml 400 \, \text{ml} + 100 \, \text{ml} = 500 \, \text{ml}

STEP 9

Calculate fluid balance:
1360 ml−500 ml=860 ml 1360 \, \text{ml} - 500 \, \text{ml} = 860 \, \text{ml}
The client's fluid balance for the shift is:
860 ml \boxed{860} \, \text{ml}
