Practice Question
A nurse is calculating the 8-hr fluid intake for a client who is receiving IV fluids and a clear liquid diet. The client had 880 mL of dextrose 5% in water IV bolus, a 6 oz cup of tea, 4 oz of apple juice, 8 oz of water, 3 oz of flavored gelatin, and 6 oz of broth. What should the nurse document as the client's 8-hr fluid intake? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
1110
Rationale:
✅Calculation:
IV = 880 mL, Tea 6 oz = 180 mL, Apple juice 4 oz = 120 mL, Water 8 oz = 240 mL, Gelatin 3 oz = 90 mL, Broth 6 oz = 180 mL → Total = 880 + 180 + 120 + 240 + 90 + 180 = 1110 mL
✅When calculating total fluid intake, convert all oral fluids from ounces to milliliters using the standard conversion (1 oz = 30 mL).
✅Include all IV fluids and clear liquid oral intakes.
✅This accurate measurement is vital for assessing hydration status and fluid balance, especially in clinical situations involving fluid therapy or output monitoring.
