The nurse is caring for a child who weighs 33 lb and has been diagnosed with dehydration. The healthcare provider's orders state that the child is to receive 50 mL/kg of oral fluids for the next 4 hours. How many total mL of fluid should the nurse provide to the client? Calculate to the nearest whole number.
________ mL
750
For children with mild to moderate dehydration, oral rehydration therapy is the first intervention, given in frequent, small amounts. For the first 2-4 hours of treatment, 50 mL of fluid for each kilogram of weight should be the target intake. The child weighs 33 lb, so the first step is determining the total amount of fluid required is to convert this weight to kg by dividing 33 lb by 2.2, which yields a weight of 15 kg. The next step is to multiply the volume of fluid by the weight in kg: 50 mL × 15 = 750 mL. Thus, the nurse should provide 750 mL of fluid to the child over 4 hours.
