Dr. Mazzola asked nurse Asia to calculate Mrs. Jones's urine output in milliliters per kilogram per hour (ml/kg/hr). Asia knows she will use the following formula to do this:Urine Output = Volume of Urine (mL) / patient’s weight (kg) / number of hours (hr)If Mrs. Jones weighs 50 kilograms and her output for the past hour has been 100 mL, what will Asia MOST likely calculate Mrs. Jones’s urine output to be?
Divide the urine volume by Mrs. Jones’s weight and the number of hours: 100 mL ÷ 50 kg ÷ 1 hr = 2 mL/kg/hr. Asia would calculate an output of 2, matching choice C.
