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?

Client should drink 3075.36 ml fluid per day

Step-by-step explanation:

An elderly client should drink at least 30 ml/kg of fluid per day.

Mr. Rogers weight is = 226 lbs

We have to convert the weight from lbs to kg first to calculate the amount of fluid client should drink per day.

Mr. Rogers weight in kg = 226 lbs = 226×.453592 = 102.512 kg

Now from unitary method we can get the amount of fluid to be taken.

∵ Patient weighing 1 kg should drink fluid = 30 ml

∴ Patient weighing 102.512 kg should drink fluid = 30×102.512 = 3075.36 ml

This amount is higher than the daily requirement of 1500 ml.

Therefore Mr. Rogers should take 3075.36 ml per day.
