A patient on intravenous fluids develops shortness of breath and edema
of the extremities. Upon auscultation, the nurse hears crackles in the
dependent parts of the lungs. Which nursing intervention is beneficial in
this condition? Correct Answer-Reducing the flow rate
A patient with a circulatory overload of intravenous fluids may develop
Correct Answer-crackles in the dependent parts of the lungs, shortness
of breath, and edema of the extremities.
Therefore, the nurse should reduce the intravenous flow rate and notify
the health care provider.
Removal of the catheter and the application of a sterile dressing is
suggested in the case of Correct Answer-local infection.
, Which conditions are common in a patient with chronic diarrhea? Select
all that apply. Correct Answer-Hypocalcemia
Hypernatremia
Hypomagnesemia
Hypokalemia occurs due to an Correct Answer-increase in fluid output,
not hyperkalemia.
The primary health care provider orders the nurse to infuse 1,000 mL of
intravenous fluid to a patient with diarrhea over 4 hours using gravity-
flow tubing with a drop factor of 9. Calculate the minute flow rate in
drops/minute. Record your answer to one decimal place. ____________
drops/minute Correct Answer-The flow rate of the intravenous fluid is
1,000 mL over 4 hours, or 250 mL per hour. Then, 250 mL/hr divided
by 60 min/hr to get 4.167 mL/minute. Therefore, the minute flow rate is
4.167 mL/min × 9 = 37.503 drops/min, which rounds to 37.5 drops/min.
The primary health care provider ordered 6 L of 0.9% sodium chloride
over 24 hours to a patient with diarrhea. What should be the flow rate of
infusion? Record your answer in mL/hour as a whole
number.____________ mL/hour Correct Answer-A patient with diarrhea
requires 0.9% sodium chloride isotonic solution or normal saline
solution. The flow rate is calculated by dividing the total infusion
volume by the number of hours of administration. Therefore, 6 L or
6000 mL of normal saline solution is divided by 24 hours to obtain the
infusion flow rate. The flow rate of the infusion is 6000/24 = 250
mL/hour.
