Answer to Question 1

3. 700mL

Rationale:
The total infused is 600+1500=2,100mL. The total drained is 800+1050+950=2,800mL. The total, or true output, is 700mL greater than the input.

Answer to Question 2

3. Risk for Infection

Rationale:
All responses are potential diagnoses postoperatively, but risk for infection is the priority. The client with an open, compound fracture has multiple bone breaks penetrating through the skin and must be assessed and cared for vigilantly for signs of infection.
