Question 24 :
A nurse is preparing to administer 2.5 L of lactated Ringer's to a client. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: ["2500"]
Step 1: Convert liters to milliliters.
1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, we can convert 2.5 liters to milliliters as follows:
2.5 liters * 1000 milliliters/liter = 2500 milliliters
Step 2: Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
The answer is 2500 milliliters. Since we are instructed to round to the nearest whole number, we do not need to make any changes.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 2500 mL of lactated Ringer's to the client.
