A nurse is completing the 8-hr 1&0 record for a client who consumed 4 oz of clear soda, 1 piece of toast, 12 oz of water, 1 cup of fruit-flavored gelatin, and 1/2 cup of chicken broth.

The client also received 300 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride IV. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client's record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)mL.

Choice A rationale:

The thickest part of the heart is not the upper chambers but the lower chambers, specifically the left ventricle. This is because it needs to pump blood to the entire body.

Choice B rationale:

Blood leaves the heart through the lower chambers, or ventricles, not the upper chambers.

Choice C rationale:

Blood enters the heart through the upper chambers, or atria. This is where deoxygenated blood from the body and oxygenated blood from the lungs first enter the heart.

Choice D rationale:

The term “ventricles” refers to the lower chambers of the heart, not the upper chambers.

Choice A rationale:

This statement is incorrect because the heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles.

Choice B rationale:

This statement is correct. The heart has two large chambers called ventricles that pump blood out of the heart.

Choice C rationale:

This statement is incorrect because the ventricles are the larger chambers of the heart, not the smaller ones.

Choice D rationale:

This statement is incorrect because the atria are the smaller chambers of the heart, not the larger ones.
