The nurse is completing the intake and output record for a preschool-age client admitted for fluid volume deficit.

The client has had the following intake and output during the shift:

Intake:

4 oz of Pedialyte

1/2 of an 8-oz cup of clear orange Jell-O

2 graham crackers

200 mL of D 5-1/2 sodium chloride IV

Output:

345 mL of urine

50 mL of loose stool

The nurse documents the client's intake as milliliters. How much liquidintake did the client have in Milliliters?
Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["437"]

To convert ounces to milliliters, multiply by 29.57
4 oz of Pedialyte = 118.28 mL
1/2 of an 8-oz cup of clear orange Jell-O = 118.28 mL
2 graham crackers = no liquid intake
200 mL of D 5-1/2 sodium chloride IV = 200 mL
Total intake = 118.28 + 118.28 + 200 = 436.56 mL
Round to the nearest whole number = 437 mL
The nurse documents the client's intake as 437 mL
