To assess if the renal system in a client diagnosed with multisystem failure is functioning properly, the nurse would expect to see urine output of:
1. 10 mL per hour.
2. 20 mL per hour.
3. 30 mL per hour.
4. 40 mL per hour.
3
Elimination of 30 mL per hour of urine is considered to be an approximate estimate of renal function. A urine output less than 30 mL per hour indicates renal failure. A urine output of greater than 40 mL per hour is considered within normal limits.
