Calculate Remaining Fluid Intake for CHF Patient

Hard Physiological Adaptation Fluid And Electrolyte Imbalances

A 65-year-old female client with congestive heart failure (CHF) has been admitted to the hospital following a recent exacerbation of her condition. The healthcare provider has ordered a fluid restriction of 1500 mL per day due to concerns about fluid overload. During morning rounds, the nurse notes that the client has produced 800 mL of urine and consumed 200 mL of fluid by noon. Given the need to manage her fluid balance closely, the nurse must calculate how much fluid the client is allowed to consume for the remainder of the day. The formula for calculating remaining fluid intake is: Fluid Restriction - (Fluid Consumed + Urine Output). Fill in the blank with the maximum amount of fluid in milliliters that the client can still consume for the day:
