Using the vital signs information above, answer the following questions:

18. What time did the patient have the highest temperature?
19. What happened to the temperature throughout the day?
20. What time did the patient have the highest blood pressure?
21. What time did the patient have the lowest blood pressure?
22. What was the total oral fluid intake?
23. What was the total IV and IV medication intake?
24. What was the total urine output?
25. What was the total drain output?
26. Which was higher, intake or output?

Answer :

Sure! Let's go through the questions step-by-step based on the data provided:

18. What time did the patient have the highest temperature?

According to the data, the highest temperature recorded is 101.6°F, which occurred at 11:00 p.m.

19. What happened to the temperature throughout the day?

The temperature increased throughout the day. It started relatively lower in the morning and reached its peak at 11:00 p.m.

20. What time did the patient have the highest blood pressure?

The highest blood pressure recorded is 154/86, which was at 2:00 p.m.

21. What time did the patient have the lowest blood pressure?

The lowest blood pressure recorded is 14/70, which occurred at 8:00 p.m.

22. What was the total oral fluid intake?

To find the total oral (PO) fluid intake, we add up all the values given: 240 ml + 120 ml + 500 ml + 180 ml + 120 ml + 480 ml + 240 ml + 120 ml = 2000 ml.

23. What was the total IV and IV medication intake?

For total IV intake, we add both the regular IV intake and IV medications:
- IV intake: 200 ml + 200 ml + 200 ml + 200 ml + 225 ml + 200 ml + 275 ml + 180 ml = 1680 ml
- IV medication: 100 ml + 0 ml + 150 ml + 0 ml + 0 ml + 200 ml + 0 ml + 0 ml = 450 ml

The total IV and IV medication intake is 1680 ml + 450 ml = 2130 ml.

24. What was the total urine output?

Adding up the urine output values: 500 ml + 300 ml + 200 ml + 240 ml + 180 ml + 300 ml + 100 ml + 75 ml = 1895 ml.

25. What was the total drain output?

Adding up the drain output values: 10 ml + 5 ml + 3 ml + 5 ml + 3 ml + 2 ml + 5 ml + 5 ml = 38 ml.

26. Which was higher, intake or output?

- Total intake (oral + IV): 2000 ml (oral) + 2130 ml (IV and meds) = 4130 ml
- Total output (urine + drains): 1895 ml (urine) + 38 ml (drains) = 1933 ml

Intake is higher than output.

By following these steps, we can clearly understand and answer each question based on the provided data.
