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.
