Practice Question

A nurse calculates a client’s fluid intake over the past 8 hours. The client had one 4-oz cup of coffee, 3 Oz of juice, and 12 Oz of soda. How many mL should the nurse document as the client's total intake for the shift?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

570 mL.

Rationale:

🧮1 oz ≈ 30 mL, so converting each beverage from ounces to milliliters is the first step in calculating intake.

🥤Adding the volumes (4 oz + 3 oz + 12 oz = 19 oz) gives the total fluid consumed in the 8-hr period.

📏Multiplying 19 oz × 30 mL per ounce yields 570 mL, which is the precise metric documentation value.

🗂️Accurate intake and output recording supports fluid balance assessment and guides clinical decisions.

📌Core Message

Accurately document intake by summing all ounces and converting with 1 oz → 30 mL, yielding 570 mL for precise I&O tracking.
