It equals the expected urinary output for the next 24 hours. 2. It will prevent the development of pneumonia and a high fever. 3. It will compensate for both insensible and expected output over the next 24 hours. 4. It will reduce hyperkalemia, which can lead to life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias.
