N450 Peds minimum fluid Requirements/urine
output
Fluid requirement for weight up to 10 kg - ANS-100mL/kg
Fluid requirement for weight that is between 11-20 kg - ANS-1000+ 50(weight-10)
Fluid requirement for weight that is above 20 kg - ANS-1500+50 (weight-20)
Minimum urine output for infants (hourly) - ANS-2mL/kg/hour
Minimum urine output for children - ANS-0.5-1mL/kg/hour
Minimum urine output for teens (same as adults) - ANS-30 mL/hour
An infant weighs 5 kg. What would be its minimum fluid requirement - ANS-500 mL
100mL (5kg)
The nurse is calculating an infant's fluid intake in a 24 hour period. The infant weighs 9 kg and
the mom reports that her infant had 4 ounces of formula every 3 hours. How many mL did the
infant consume in the 24 hour time frame? Did the infant reach the minimum fluid requirement?
- ANS-900 mL; Yes
4 ounces= 120 mL
120 mL x 8= 960
Minimum fluid requirement calculation: 100mL (9 kg)= 900mL
A nurse is checking an adolescent's 24 hour urinary output. She drained 800 mL from the foley
catheter bag. What would be the hourly urinary output? Did the adolescent meet the minimum
urinary output requirement? - ANS-33.33 mL/hour; Yes
800/24= 33.33 mL/hour
A nurse is evaluating the intake and output during the past 12 hours for a child who weighs 20
kg. The nurse drained 300 mL from the foley bag. What would be the child's hourly urinary
output? Did the child meet the minimum urinary output requirement? - ANS-10-20 mL/hour; Yes
300/12= 25 mL
0.5(20)= 10
1(20)= 20
