A nurse is calculating the total fluid intake for a client during a 4-hr period. The client consumed 1 cup of coffee, 4 oz of orange juice, 3 oz of water, 1 cup of flavored gelatin, 1 cup of tea, 5 oz of broth, and 3 oz of cranberry juice. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client's record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number)
Correct answer
1170
Rationale
The correct answer is 1170 mL. To calculate this, we convert each type of fluid into mL: 1 cup = 240 mL, 1 oz = 30 mL. Adding up the intake: coffee (240 mL), orange juice (120 mL), water (90 mL), gelatin (240 mL), tea (240 mL), broth (150 mL), cranberry juice (90 mL) = 1170 mL. Other choices are incorrect because they do not add up the total fluid intake accurately or convert the measurements properly.
