Question 5:

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 remains. 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 and Explanation
Correct Answer: "1110ml" mL

Explanation

8-oz cup of coffee = 8 oz (since 1 fluid ounce is approximately 30 ml, this is roughly 240 ml).

3 oz of juice = 3 oz (approximately 90 ml).

12 oz of soda = 12 oz (approximately 360 ml).

Water pitcher had 300 ml, and 200 ml remains, so the client consumed 300 ml - 200 ml = 100 ml of water.

IV fluids infusing at 40 mL/hr for 8 hours = 40 ml/hr * 8 hr = 320 ml.

Now, sum up these values:

240 ml (coffee) + 90 ml (juice) + 360 ml (soda) + 100 ml (water) + 320 ml (IV fluids) = 1,110 ml
So, the nurse should document the client's total intake for the shift as 1,110 ml.
