Round to the nearest tenth.

A nurse notes that a client is confused, impulsive, and unstable with mobility. The nurse fears the client is in danger of harming themselves so they ask for a sitter to stay at the bedside to keep the client company and minimize the risk for falls. What ethical principle is the nurse demonstrating?

A nurse is managing a patient's fluids and outputs over a shift. Here are the details:

• 0700: The nurse starts an IV of 0.45% Normal saline infusing at 100 mL/hr.
• 0900: The patient has coffee-ground emesis (vomit) measuring 300 mL.
• 1000: The nurse stops the IV of 0.45% Normal saline to administer an IV antibiotic. The antibiotic administered is Kefzol 1 g in 25 mL of D5W over 30 minutes.
• 1030: The antibiotic infusion stops, and the nurse resumes the IV fluid of 0.45% Normal saline at 100 mL/hr.
• 1100: The physician orders the insertion of an NG tube and intermittent suction. The nurse inserts the NG tube and connects it to intermittent suction.
• 1530: The patient voids another 350 mL and 200 mL. The nurse checks the NG tube canister and records the output for the shift as 300 mL.

Calculate the patient's total intake from 0700 to 1530.
