A medical/surgical nurse is completing the admission assessment on a client diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. The client's admitting weight is 165 lb (74.8 kg). The vital signs are as follows: temperature 96°F (35.6°C), pulse 110, respirations 20, and blood pressure 88/56 mmHg. The client received 3 L of normal saline in the emergency department. The total urine output for the past 2 hours is 20 mL via Foley catheter. Which intervention should the nurse recommend to the primary healthcare provider?

A 60-year-old female patient appears to be dehydrated, with a hematocrit of 0.55 (55%) and a plasma protein concentration of 8.8 g per dL (normal, ~7.0). After obtaining a plasma sample, you find that she has hyponatremia, with a plasma sodium concentration of 110 mmol/L and a plasma osmolarity of 240 mOsm/L. You decide to administer 2.0 L of 3% sodium chloride. Her body weight was 80 kg before giving the fluid. Assume the following: Intracellular fluid volume = 40% of body weight before fluid administration Extracellular fluid volume = 20% of body weight before fluid administration Molecular weight of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol No excretion of water or electrolytes Calculate the volume of the intracellular fluid compartment after equilibrium is reached ??/ The volume extracellular fluid compartment after equilibrium is reached ??? and total body water after equilibrium is reached ???
