Question 1 of 5
A nurse is calculating the fluid intake for an infant at the end of an 8-hr shift. For oral intake, the infant had 10 mL of medication, 3 oz of formula, and 2 oz of juice. In addition, the infant had IV fluid infusing at 20 mL/hr via an IV pump. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the clients record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To calculate the total fluid intake for the infant, we first convert the volumes to milliliters for accuracy. The medication is already in mL (10 mL). Convert 3 oz to mL (3 oz ≈ 90 mL) and 2 oz to mL (2 oz ≈ 60 mL). Add these amounts (10 mL + 90 mL + 60 mL) for oral intake = 160 mL. For IV intake, 20 mL/hr × 8 hrs = 160 mL. Add the oral intake and IV intake (160 mL + 160 mL) = 320 mL.
Therefore, the correct answer is C (320 mL). Option A (310 mL) is incorrect as it does not account for the IV intake. Option B (390 mL) is incorrect as it overestimates the total intake. Option D (180 mL) is incorrect as it only considers the oral intake, excluding the IV intake.
