The nurse understands that the elderly client should drink at least 30 ml/kg of fluid each day with a minimum of 1500 ml / day. Mr. Rogers weighs 226 lbs. How many mL of fluid should the client drink per day?

Answer

=3,075.36 ml

Explanation

We must first convert pounds to kilograms. 1Lbs = 0.453592Kg.

So, 226 Lbs=226*0.453592

=102.512Kg

Now calculate how many ml Mr. Rogers would take.

30ml→1 Kg

What about 102.512 Kg?

102.512Kg→102.512*30

=3,075.36 ml

Since this figure is above the threshold ml per day, then we take the answer as 3,075.36 ml per day.
