Practice Question
A nurse is calculating a client's fluid intake over the past 8 hr. The client had one 8-oz cup of coffee, 3 oz of juice, and 12 oz of soda. The client's water pitcher had 300 ml, and 200 ml remain. The client also had IV fluids infusing as 40 mL/hr via an infusion pump. How many ml should the nurse document as the client's total intake for the shift?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
1110
Rationale:
Convert ounces to mL (1 oz = 30 mL):
Coffee (8 oz = 240 mL),
juice (3 oz = 90 mL),
soda (12 oz = 360 mL),
water consumed (300 mL – 200 mL = 100 mL),
IV fluids (40 mL/hr × 8 hr = 320 mL). Total intake = 240 + 90 + 360 + 100 + 320 = 1110 mL.
