I & O

Please help me figure these i's and o's---I don't know why I am making it so diffucult. Thank you in advanced.

18. At 0700 the client had an IV of 1 L of D5W infusing at 100 mL/hr. For breakfast the

client drank a 6 oz cup of coffee and a 6 oz glass of orange juice. For lunch she drank

a 12 ounce soft drink. The client voided 3 times on your shift (350 mL, 475 mL, &

600 mL). At 1400 she vomited 200 mL of emesis. Calculate I and O from 0700 to

1500 when your shift ends.

Intake _______________

Output ______________

First thing I determine is how long is the shift: 1500- 0700= 8hr shift

this is important for your IV of D5W

You have 1L of D5W running at 100ml/hr x 8 hrs= 800 ml.

then just convert oz's to ml -------1oz= 30ml.

and know that vomiting is output, then just add the numbers. simple

Intake

Output

100ml/hr (8 hr)= 800 ml

Voided= 350ml

Coffee 6oz (30ml)= 180ml

Voided= 475ml

OJ 6oz (30ml)= 180 ml

Voided= 600ml

Soft drink 12oz (30ml)= 360

Emesis= 200 ml

Total= 1520 ml

Total= 1625 ml

Sry my table didnt appear and it turned it into a mess

let me try to do a table

ok, I'm all for helping...But YOU should do some work and show us. I would encourage posters to NOT show anything, until we know where OP is having difficulty. This is a great forum, but you get out what you put in.

I am sorry for just throwing this on here. No, this is not homework! It is just a review for us. I am having trouble with figuring out the IV part of the problems. How do you figure which one running and for how long. I know one is clamped off when running piggyback and such, but how long are they running for. I even have the answer key, but I can not for the life of me make this work for me. Especially the last two.

Ok, so Intake would be whatever went in:

IV of D5W....100 mL/hr for 8 hrs....800mL there.

Breakfast drank 12 oz total so 12 *30mL/oz = 360mL.

Lunch 12oz again...so 360.....

Total: 1520

Output:

voids of 350 + 475 + 600 = 1425

emesis of 200mL

Total 1625.

19. At 2300 the patient had an IV of 0.45% NS infusing at 75 mL/hr. The patient had

coffee ground emesis measuring 350 mL at 0100. The doctor ordered 2 units of

PRBC's over 3 hrs, followed by an IV of 0.9% NS to infuse at 100 mL/hr. The nurse

discontinued the current IV and started the first unit of PRBC's (250mL) at 0200 and

the second unit (250mL) at 0330. The IV of 0.9% NS was started at 0500. The client

voided twice (250 mL & 300 mL). Calculate the patient's total I & O starting at 2300

and ending at 0700.

Ok, so Intake:

IV of 0.45 NS from 2300 to 0200....75mL/hr * 3 hrs....225 mL

Two units of blood at 0200 and 0330: 500 mL total.

then IV of 0.9 NS from 0500 - 700 at 100 mL an hour....200mL

total : 925 mL

Output:

emesis of 350 ML

Voids of 550 mL

total : 900 mL

20. At 2300 the patient had an IV of 0.45% NS infusing at 125 mL/hr. The patient

received Ampicillin in 50 mL 0.9% NS IV PB at 2345 over 30 min. and again at 0600

over 30 min. The client voided twice on your shift (600 mL & 300 mL). The client

drank half of his 1000 mL water pitcher during the night. There was 30 mL +

drainage from the Hemovac during the night. Calculate the patient's total I & O

starting at 2300 and ending at 0700.

Intake:

2300-0700 of IV 0.45NS at 125 Ml/hr * 8 hrs = 1000mL

Ampicillin in 50ML x 2(during shift) = 100mL

drank 500 mL of water.

total: 1600 mL

Output:

voids of 600 and 300 = 900 mL.

drainage of 30mL

total 930 ML

No offense intended...but I believe that if you show your work we may be able to help you figure out where you were having a problem at....we generally frown at people who post without attempting the problems....

Thank you all. I normally do post how I work the problems, but yesterday I was on my way to work and was hoping for some assistance before I got home. I have been doing the problems just as you all have-come to find out the answers on the answer key were incorrect. They were as follows-Problem 19 I=925 and O=900 Problem 20 I=1238 and O=930. It was the intake on problem 20 that was throwing me off. Thank you all soooo much! What a great group of people. Thanks again!!!

How do you get 1238 for input for #20? I get 1475mL. Is that wrong?
