While reviewing the medical reports in an acute care setting, the nurse finds that the client is at risk for kidney damage and requests the healthcare provider to increase the intravenous fluid rate as a priority nursing intervention. which finding supports the nurse's conclusion?

The correct answer is the urine output is 25 mL/hr.
The urine output is the amount of urine produced by a person hourly. The normal range for urine output is 800 to 2000 mL per day, meaning that the minimum rate of urine output should be approximately 30 mL/hr. Estimating the urine output can help monitor the kidney function and the levels of the body's hydration. Serious health problems could cause a decreased urine output, such as decreased blood supply to the kidneys or bladder and prostate problems. The patient has lower rate than normal and his/her fluid intake should be increased.
