A nurse is calculating the intake for a client who reports eating a 4 oz container of ice cream and drinking 8 oz of coffee. The nurse should document how many mL of fluid intake in the client's medical record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. "A nurse will insert an IV prior to starting the test.": A nonstress test (NST) is noninvasive and does not require intravenous access. IV insertion is unnecessary unless other procedures or interventions are planned concurrently, so this statement is inaccurate for routine NST preparation.

B. "You should have nothing to eat or drink for 4 hours prior to the test.": Fasting is not required for an NST. In fact, eating can stimulate fetal activity, which may improve the accuracy of the test by eliciting heart rate accelerations in response to movement.

C. "You should expect the test to take a minimum of 2 hours.": A typical NST usually takes 20–40 minutes to complete, depending on fetal activity. Expecting a minimum of 2 hours may unnecessarily alarm the client and does not reflect standard test duration.

D. "You will be asked to press a button when you feel your baby move.": During an NST, the client uses an event marker to indicate fetal movements. This helps correlate accelerations in the fetal heart rate with fetal activity, providing important information about fetal well-being and autonomic function.

A. Consumes foods with purines: Dietary habits may be relevant for certain conditions, such as gout, but consumption of purine-rich foods is not part of the client’s medical history. It is considered current lifestyle information rather than past or ongoing medical diagnoses.

B. Hospitalized for bipolar disorder 2 years ago: Previous hospitalizations for psychiatric conditions are a key component of the client’s medical history. This information provides context for current mental health status, risk assessment, and planning of care, and helps identify patterns in symptom management and treatment response.

C. Step-sister has major depressive disorder: Family history is important and documented separately under genetic or familial risk factors. While it informs potential predisposition, it does not constitute the client’s personal medical history.

D. Plans to start group therapy sessions once per week: Future intentions or planned interventions reflect care planning and goals rather than historical medical data. This information is documented in the plan of care rather than the medical history section.
