The nurse is instructing a healthy 60-kilogram client on nutritional and hydration needs. The nurse explains that the client will need how many 8-ounce glasses of water per day to help meet the body's daily fluid requirements?
1. 8?11 glasses
2. 15?20 glasses
3. 5?6 glasses
4. 2?3 glasses
8−11 glasses
Rationale: The healthy 60-kg client will need between 60 and 90 ounces of water per day to meet the body's normal daily fluid requirements. This equals between 8 and 11 (8-ounce) glasses of water per day. A client will have more fluid requirements with illness or increased physical activity. Less than 8 glasses of water will not meet the body's daily fluid requirements.
