Question

The nurse is teaching assistive personnel (AP) about fluid restriction for a client who has acute kidney injury (AKI). The client's 24-hour urinary output is 120 mL. How much fluid would the client be allowed to have over the next 24 hours?

a. 380 mL
b. 500 mL
c. 620 mL
d. 750 mL

Answer 1

The client would be allowed to have 500 mL of fluid over the next 24 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The client would be allowed to have 500 mL of fluid over the next 24 hours.

The average amount of urine produced by a person per day is 1.5 liters. However, in the case of acute kidney injury (AKI), fluid restriction is necessary.

The client's 24-hour urinary output is 120 mL, which means they would be allowed to consume 500 mL of fluid over the next 24 hours.
