Question: An adolescent is hospitalized with multiple internal injuries after an automobile collision. The adolescent is being kept npo and is receiving an IV infusion at 125 mL/hr and an antibiotic reconstituted in 10 mL of normal saline every 6 hours (1 am, 4 pm, 1 pm, 4 am). What is the intake from 7 am to 3 pm?
1. 1000 mL
2. 1010 mL
3. 1020 mL
4. 1030 mL
Rationale: 1010 mL is the correct amount of intake. 125 mL X 8 hours = 1000 mL; one dose of the reconstituted antibiotic is administered at 1 p.m. = 10mL; 1000 mL + 10 mL = 1010 mL.
