Question 1 of 5
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?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 1600 mL.
To calculate total intake, add up all sources: 8 oz coffee = 240 mL, 3 oz juice = 90 mL, 12 oz soda = 360 mL, remaining water in pitcher = 200 mL, total oral intake = 240 + 90 + 360 + 200 = 890 mL. IV fluids at 40 mL/hr for 8 hours = 320 mL.
Total intake = 890 mL + 320 mL = 1210 mL. So, the nurse should document 1210 mL oral intake + 400 mL IV fluids = 1600 mL total intake. Other choices are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total intake.
