0730-6 ounces of apple juice, oatmeal, and toast 0830-voided 250 mL
0900 1 cup of water
1200 1 cup of soup, grilled cheese sandwich, and 6 ounces of tea 1300 vomitus of 150 mL
1400 voided 250 mL
1430-12 ounces of carbonated beverage
Explanation
- 6 ounces of apple juice = 177 mL (1 ounce = 29.57 mL)
- 1 cup of water = 240 mL (1 cup = 240 mL)
- 1 cup of soup = 240 mL
- 6 ounces of tea = 177 mL
- 12 ounces of carbonated beverage = 355 mL
Total intake: 177 + 240 + 240 + 177 + 355 = 1189 mL
Total output:
- Voided at 0830 = 250 mL
- Vomitus at 1300 = 150 mL
- Voided at 1400 = 250 mL
Total output: 250 + 150 + 250 = 650 mL
Fluid balance: Total intake - Total output = 1189 - 650 = 539 mL
Therefore, the client's current fluid balance is 539 mL.
