Question

A) 520 mL
B) 600 mL
C) 528 mL
D) 350 mL

Answer 1

The PM shift nurse can give the CKD patient 526.88 mL of fluids after the patient drank 16 oz of coffee on the 7A-7P shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

A CKD patient is on a fluid restriction of 1,000 mL/day. On the 7A-7P shift, the client drank 16 oz of coffee.

To determine how much the PM shift nurse can give the client, we need to convert the units to milliliters: 16 oz x 29.57 mL/oz = 473.12 mL.

However, since the patient is on a fluid restriction of 1,000 mL/day and already consumed 473.12 mL during the morning shift, the PM shift nurse can only give the patient 1,000 mL - 473.12 mL = 526.88 mL.
