Explanation
Calculation:
- Identify oral fluid intake
Clear soda: 120 mL
Water: 360 mL
Fruit-flavored gelatin: 240 mL
Chicken broth: 120 mL
Toast is a solid food and is not included in intake.
Total oral intake = 120 + 360 + 240 + 120
= 840 mL
- Identify IV fluid intake
0.9% sodium chloride IV = 300 mL
- Calculate total fluid intake
Total intake = Oral intake + IV intake
Total intake = 840 + 300
= 1140 mL
