Assess Mr. McKinley's current hydration status using the first 24 hours of I/O and the nursing assessment
What will be an ideal response?
Mr. McKinley is +1430 mL on this day and that is due to the resuscitation of fluid status through the use of normal saline. He is having adequate UOP of 0.9 mL/kg/hr. Although he has edema and obvious fluid overload in the third spaces, he was most likely dehydrated in the intravascular space. Research suggests aggressive fluid management in the acute phase of sepsis, followed by a more conservative approach in the following days.
