A nurse is totaling the intake of a child who is on oral feedings, enteral feedings, and parenteral IV fluids. During the 8 hour shift the child took 4 ounces of formula, by mouth
The child also had a supplemental feeding per gastrostomy tube that ran at 20 mL per hour for 4 hours. The child's IV ran continuously at 25 mL per hour for the whole 8 hours. What is the child's total intake for the 8 hour shift?
400
Keeping accurate intake and output (I&O) measurements may be necessary for some children. Measure and record all intake: oral, enteral, and parenteral. The 4 ounces of formula = 120, the 4 hours of enteral feeding at 20 mL per hour = 80, the parenteral IV intake at 25 mL per hour for 8 hours = 200 . 120 + 80 + 200 = 400 total intake for the 8 hours.

What is the research assumption?
a. This study was undertaken to explore the effect of massage on total hours of sleep per 24-hour day, in persons averaging fewer than 7 hours of sleep per night, attributable to insomnia. b. It was posited that provision of daily late-morning massage would affect total hours of sleep per 24-hour day. c. It was taken as established fact that massage is pleasant, that research subjects getting fewer than 7 hours of sleep per night were sleep-deprived, and that endorphins mediated the changes observed. d. Presumably by increasing endorphin levels, massage seems to provide an immediate relaxation and an ability to sleep immediately following the session, but it is unclear whether these benefits actually extend to total sleep, despite anecdotal support. The claim that massage increases total hours of sleep has been inadequately researched.
