patient is receiving an antibiotic IVPB in 50ml every 8 hours to run over 1 hour plus a maintenance IV of 100ml/hr. what is the 24h intake parenterally?
To find the 24-hour intake parenterally, we need to calculate the amount of fluid received through the antibiotic IVPB and the maintenance IV.
The antibiotic is given every 8 hours in 50ml, and it runs over 1 hour each time. So we need to calculate the total amount received in 24 hours.
First, let's calculate the antibiotic IVPB intake:
In 1 hour, the patient receives 50ml of antibiotic.
Since the antibiotic is given every 8 hours, we need to calculate the number of doses in 24 hours: 24 hours / 8 hours per dose = 3 doses.
So the total intake of antibiotic IVPB in 24 hours is: 3 doses x 50ml per dose = 150ml.
Now let's calculate the maintenance IV intake:
The maintenance IV is given at a rate of 100ml per hour.
Since the maintenance IV runs for 24 hours, the total intake is: 24 hours x 100ml per hour = 2400ml.
Finally, let's calculate the 24-hour intake parenterally by adding the antibiotic IVPB intake and the maintenance IV intake:
150ml (antibiotic IVPB intake) + 2400ml (maintenance IV intake) = 2550ml.
Therefore, the 24-hour intake parenterally is 2550ml.
