For dinner the client drank two 8 oz cups of coffee and had a 12 ounce soft drink at 2100. The client voided 4 times on your shift (100ml, 250mL 300ml, and 550mL). At 1700 the client had 100mL emesis. Calculate the intake from 1500 to 2300 when your shift ends. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Explanation
2 cups of coffee: 2 cups 8 oz/cup = 16 oz
1 soft drink: 12 oz
Total intake from 1500 to 2100 = 16 oz (coffee) + 12 oz (soft drink) = 28 oz
From 2100 to 2300 (2 hours):
No additional intake mentioned in the question.
Total intake from 1500 to 2300 = 28 oz (from 1500 to 2100)
Therefore, the total intake from 1500 to 2300 is 28 ounces.
