The nurse is calculating the output of a client at the end of the shift. The nurse notes the following: the client voided 400 mL at 1100 and 350 at 1415. The chest tube was previously marked at 155 mL and is now 175 mL. The nasogastric tube has 575 mL in the drainage container and the Jackson Pratt drain had 25 mL emptied from it. How many ml's should the nurse record as output for the shift

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["1370"]

To calculate total output, we sum all recorded outputs:

Urine output:
- 400 mL + 350 mL = 750 mL
Chest tube drainage:
- 175 mL (current) - 155 mL (previous) = 20 mL
Nasogastric tube drainage: 575 mL
Jackson-Pratt drain output: 25 mL

Total Output = 750 + 20 + 575 + 25 = 1,370 mL

Correct Answer: 1,370 mL

C. Head trauma: Impaired thermoregulation in the brainstem can cause hypothermia.

D. Drug use: Certain drugs (e.g., alcohol, sedatives) impair the body’s ability to regulate temperature, increasing hypothermia risk.

A. 0.45% sodium chloride B. 0.9% sodium chloride C. Lactated Ringers D. Albumin

Correct Answer is {"A":{"answers":"A"},"B":{"answers":"B"},"C":{"answers":"B"},"D":{"answers":"C"}}

Explanation

Solutions	Hypotonic	Isotonic	Hypertonic
0.45% sodium chloride	✅
0.9% sodium chloride		✅
Lactated Ringers		✅
Albumin			✅

0.45% Sodium Chloride (Hypotonic): Has lower osmolarity than blood, causing fluid to shift into cells, making them swell. Used for dehydration and intracellular rehydration.

0.9% Sodium Chloride (Isotonic): Has the same osmolarity as blood, so it stays in the intravascular space. Used for fluid resuscitation (hypovolemia, dehydration, shock).

Lactated Ringers (Isotonic): Contains electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca2+, lactate), making it ideal for burns, surgery, and trauma patients. Maintains intravascular volume without fluid shifts.

Albumin (Hypertonic): Large protein that pulls fluid into the intravascular space (colloid osmotic pressure). Used for hypovolemia, burns, or severe hypoalbuminemia.
