Over an 8-hour period, a pediatric patient's fluid intake and urinary output were measured. The child ingested 250.7 mL, 120.5 mL, and 220.1 mL of fluid; the child's urine output was 120.7 mL, 150.4 mL, and 220.7 mL. What was the child's fluid balance (the difference between the fluid intake and urinary output) for that 8-hour period?
What will be an ideal response?
Input = 250.7 + 120.5 + 220.1 = 591.3 mL
Output = 120.7 + 150.4 + 220.7 = 491.8 mL
Difference = 591.3 - 491.8 = 99.5 mL
