Question 1 of 5

The nurse is calculating the 12-hour intake for a client. The client received: ,¢ 0.45% saline at 85 mL/hr via continuous infusion ,¢ One eight-ounce cup of ice chips ,¢ One eight-ounce cup of coffee ,¢ One eight-ounce cup of ice cream ,¢ Three eight-ounce cups of water ,¢ One eight-ounce cup of pureed vegetables. The nurse should calculate the client's total liquid intake as how many mL? Fill in the blank.

Correct Answer: 1770 mL

Rationale: Calculate IV fluid: 85 mL/hr × 12 hr = 1020 mL. Each 8-ounce cup = 240 mL (since 1 oz ≈ 30 mL). Ice chips count as half volume: 240 mL ÷ 2 = 120 mL.
Total: 1020 mL + 120 mL (ice chips) + 240 mL (coffee) + 240 mL (ice cream) + 720 mL (3 cups water) + 240 mL (vegetables) = 1770 mL.
