A patient is prescribed a 1200 mL daily fluid restriction. The patient's IV is infusing at a keep open rate of 10 mL/hr. The patient has no additional IV medications. How much fluid should the patient be permitted from 0700 until 1500? Record your answer rounding to the nearest whole number.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
480 mL
Fluid allowed is calculated by figuring the total daily IV intake (in this case, 10 mL/hr × 24 hours = 240 mL/day), subtracting that total from the daily allowance (in this case, 1200 mL ? 240 mL = 960 mL). The amount calculated is then distributed as 50% for the traditional day shift, 25%?33% for the traditional evening shift, and the remainder for the traditional night shift. In this case, 50% of 960 is 480 mL.
