The client had 880 mL of dextrose 5% in water IV bolus, a 6 oz cup of tea, 4 oz of apple juice, 8 oz of water, 3 oz of flavored gelatin, and 6 oz of broth.
What should the nurse document as the client's 8-hr fluid intake? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
To calculate the 8-hr fluid intake, convert all the measurements to milliliters (mL).
1 oz = 30 mL, so 6 oz of tea = 180 mL, 4 oz of apple juice = 120 mL, 8 oz of water = 240 mL, 3 oz of flavored gelatin = 90 mL, and 6 oz of broth = 180 mL.
Add up all the fluid intake from IV fluids and clear liquids: 880 + 180 + 120 + 240 + 90 + 180 = 1690 mL.
Round the answer to the nearest whole number: 1690 mL.
The nurse should document 1690 mL as the client's 8-hr fluid intake.
