hard · NCLEX-RN Management of Care
A critical shortage of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) solution has occurred due to a national backorder. There are currently 4 clients in the ICU undergoing active CRRT, each consuming solution at a prescribed rate of 2.5 L/hour. The clean utility room contains exactly 32 bags of 5-liter CRRT solution, with no other stock available. The charge nurse must calculate the unit's supply burn-rate to determine how many hours the remaining stock will last. How many hours (hr) of therapy are available before the supply is completely exhausted? Record your answer as a whole number. Do not include units in your response.
