A primary healthcare provider has instructed a nurse to give 100 ﬂ oz of ﬂuids to a client with renal calculi. What should the nurse do while caring for this client?

Instruct the client to drink 6 cups of ﬂuids.

Provide 2400 mL of ﬂuids daily.

Provide 3 L of ﬂuids daily.

Instruct the client to drink 250 mL of water daily.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

One ﬂuid ounce is equal to **29.57353 milliliters**¹²³. To convert ﬂuid ounces to milliliters, you can multiply the value in ﬂuid ounces by 29.57353. For example, 1 ﬂuid ounce x 29.57353 milliliters = 29.57353 milliliters.

Therefore, to convert 100 ﬂ oz of ﬂuids to milliliters, you can multiply 100 by 29.57353. The answer is
**2957.353 milliliters**. This is the amount of ﬂuids that the nurse should provide to the client with renal calculi.

The other options are not correct because they do not match the calculated amount of ﬂuids that the client needs. Option a is wrong because it is too litle ﬂuids, which could result in dehydration or inadequate ﬂushing of the urinary tract. Option c is wrong because it is too much ﬂuids, which could result in ﬂuid overload or electrolyte imbalance. Option d is wrong because it is not a volume but a frequency, and it is also too litle ﬂuids for the client's condition.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

To find the volume of ﬂuid that will be left at 10:00 am, you need to calculate the following:

- The time elapsed in minutes from 8:45 am to 10:00 am using the formula: Time elapsed (min) = End time (min) - Start time (min)
- The volume of ﬂuid infused in milliliters (mL) during the time elapsed using the formula: Volume infused (mL) = Flow rate (mL/min) x Time elapsed (min)
- The volume of ﬂuid left in milliliters (mL) at 10:00 am using the formula: Volume left (mL) = Initial volume (mL) - Volume infused (mL)

First, use the formula for time elapsed to find how many minutes have passed from 8:45 am to 10:00 am:

Time elapsed (min) = End time (min) - Start time (min)

Since the end time is 10:00 am and the start time is 8:45 am, plug in these values into the formula:

Time elapsed (min) = 600 min - 525 min

Simplify and solve for the time elapsed:

Time elapsed (min) = 75 min

Next, use the formula for volume infused to find the amount of ﬂuid infused in milliliters during the time elapsed:

Volume infused (mL) = Flow rate (mL/min) x Time elapsed (min)

Since the ﬂow rate is 2 mL/min and the time elapsed is 75 min, plug in these values into the formula:

Volume infused (mL) = 2 mL/min x 75 min

Simplify and solve for the volume infused:

Volume infused (mL) = 150 mL

Then, use the formula for volume left to find the amount of ﬂuid left in milliliters at 10:00 am:

Volume left (mL) = Initial volume (mL) - Volume infused (mL)

Since the initial volume is 1500 mL and the volume infused is 150 mL, plug in these values into the formula:

Volume left (mL) = 1500 mL - 150 mL

Simplify and solve for the volume left:

Volume left (mL) = 1350 mL

Therefore, the volume of ﬂuid that will be left at 10:00 am is **1350 mL**.

A. 5.5 mL B. 10.5 mL C. 12.5 mL D. 15.5 mL

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The nurse should administer 12.5 mL of amoxicillin oral suspension.

This answer is correct because it is based on a simple ratio and proportion calculation. The nurse can set up a proportion as follows:

200 mg / 5 mL = 500 mg / x mL

Cross-multiplying and solving for x gives:

x = 12.5 mL

Therefore, the nurse should administer 12.5 mL of amoxicillin oral suspension to deliver 500 mg of the medication to the patient.
