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?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: 570 mL. To calculate the total intake, convert the volume of each drink to mL: 4 oz = 120 mL, 3 oz = 90 mL, 12 oz = 360 mL. Add these together: 120 + 90 + 360 = 570 mL. This is the total fluid intake for the client over the past 8 hours. Choice A (120 mL) is incorrect as it only accounts for the coffee. Choice B (90 mL) is incorrect as it only accounts for the juice. Choice D (360 mL) is incorrect as it only accounts for the soda.
