The medical director makes rounds and writes orders to start an IV of D
5½NS at 75 mL/hr
and insert a Foley catheter to gravity drainage.
Because M.Z. is unable to take oral
medications, the medical director orders ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 400 mg q12h IV piggyback
(IVPB). Are the type of fluid and rate appropriate for M.Z.'s age and condition? Explain.
Yes, the type of fluid and rate are appropriate for M.Z. She has a history of loose stools for 4 days,
so the fluid rate of 75 mL/hr is not excessive. The type of fluid is appropriate because her CMP was
within normal limits, and she has no stated history of comorbid conditions such as heart failure or
diabetes mellitus.
