Practice Question

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 800 mL and 200 mL remain. The client also had IV fluids infusing at 40 mL/hr via an IV pump. How many mL should the nurse document as the client's total intake for the shift?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

1600 mL.

Rationale:

🔢Convert ounces to milliliters using 1 oz = 29.57 mL, yielding 236.6 mL (coffee), 88.7 mL (juice), and 354.9 mL (soda).

💧Calculate water pitcher consumption by subtracting the remaining volume (200 mL) from the initial 800 mL, giving 600 mL.

💉Include IV fluids by multiplying the flow rate (40 mL/hr) by the time (8 hr) to add 320 mL.

➕Sum all sources (236.6 + 88.7 + 354.9 + 600 + 320) to total approximately 1600 mL.

📌Core Message

Accurate intake totals require unit conversion, tracking all sources, and summation of oral and IV fluids.
