Hello! I know it has been a while since you made this post. However, I have the same dilemma now. I'm a new grad with an opportunity to work either at Sharp Grossmont or Palomar. Any advice? Thanks

Hello! I have the following question: patient in ED is hypervolemic, with mild pulmonary and 2+ pitting edema (PMH for DM, HTN, A-fib, CHF) with B/P of 174/84. We gave him lasix,O2, etc. I was wondering, why nothing was administered for his high blood pressure. Will lowering his blood pressure increase his hypervolemia? I thought that decreasing resistance should decrease afterload and thus increase preload and lower edema. Also CHF tx should include vasodilators like NTG, and those were not given as well. Can anyone help, plz?

Got it! Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for help. But the answer is 320 cc. How can it be?

Hi All! Can someone please explain to me how to solve this particular problem and what is the general schema for solving such problems. Thanks!!! Patient is NPO prior to going to the OR. Nurse's order is to administer 250cc/hr of NS plus add any additional patient losses. How much fluid would the nurse administer for 1100 o'clock? Urine output NG suction 0900 15cc 10cc 1000 20cc 50cc 1100 10cc 40cc 1200 30cc 30cc
