Correct Answer is ["125"]
Explanation
Calculate the total infusion time
Total infusion time (hr) = Total mEq / Infusion rate (mEq/hr)
= 40 mEq / 10 mEq/hr
= 4 hours
Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr:
Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total infusion time (hr)
=500 mL / 4 hours
= 125 mL/hr
Correct Answer is ["782"]
Explanation
Convert ounces (oz) to milliliters (mL): mL = oz × 29.5735
Juice: 4 oz × 29.5735 mL/oz
= 118.294 mL
Hot tea: 6 oz × 29.5735 mL/oz
= 177.441 mL
Broth: 8 oz × 29.5735 mL/oz
= 236.588 mL
Ice chips: 100 mL
IV bolus: 150 mL
Sum all intakes in mL.
Total intake: 118.294 mL + 177.441 mL + 100 mL + 150 mL + 236.588 mL
= 782.323 mL
Rounded to the nearest whole number: 782 mL
