care plan help

The sister of C.K. brought her 71-year-old brother to the primary care clinic after he came down with a fever 2 days ago. She said he has shaking chills, a productive cough, and he can't lie down to sleep because he can't stop coughing.” After C.K. is examined, he is diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and admitted to your floor. The intern is busy and asks you to complete your routine admission assessment and call her with your findings.

    What is it that you don't understand about the IV fluid order? What makes you question whether or not it is correct? Please provide a little more about your thought process so that we can be sure exactly what it is you need help with.

    Welcome!

    I am not sure what you are asking

    The word "understand" is subjective. What about it do you not "understand" Are you wondering why it is ordered? Are you wondering about what is ordered? Amount ordered? What is ordered? There is a lot there to not "understand"
