Question

During your 12-hour shift from 7p - 7a, what is your patient's INTAKE and OUTPUT?

2000-0600: Jevity 50 mL/hr
0615: 50 cc free water flush
2100-0215: Two 250 mL of red blood cells
0115: 20 cc saline flush IV
0300: Zosyn IV 50 mL
0400: 10 cc saline flush IV

Continuous Fluids:
Heparin 10 mL/hr
Normal Saline 100 mL/hr

Ileostomy: 300 mL
NG suction: 50 cc
Urine: 1850 mL
Wound vac: 100 cc

Answer 1

During a 12-hour shift from 7pm to 7am, the total intake for a patient is 2450 mL, which includes various IV fluids and flushes. The total output is 2300 mL, which includes fluids lost through ileostomy, NG suction, urine, and a wound vac.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the total intake and output for a patient during a 12-hour night shift. Intake includes all fluids provided intravenously or through feeding tubes, while output includes all bodily fluids lost through urine, drainage, or other medical devices.

Here are the intake calculations:

• Gevity 50 mL/hr. from 2000-0600 (10 hours) = 500 mL
• 50 cc free water flush at 0615 = 50 mL
• Two 250 mL of red blood cells from 2100-0215 = 500 mL
• 20 cc saline flush IV at 0115 = 20 mL
• Zosyn IV 50 mL at 0300 = 50 mL
• 10 cc saline flush IV at 0400 = 10 mL
• Heparin 10 mL/hr. for 12 hours = 120 mL
• Normal Saline 100 mL/hr. for 12 hours = 1200 mL

Total intake during the shift is 2450 mL.

Here are the output calculations:

• Ileostomy: 300 mL
• NG suction: 50 cc
• Urine: 1850 mL
• Wound vac: 100 cc

Total output during the shift is 2300 mL.
