A nurse is recording the intake and output (I&O) for a client. The client consumed 8 oz of milk, 10 oz of water, 4 oz of gelatin, 1 egg, 1 piece of bacon, and 2 biscuits. Which of the following volumes should the nurse record on the I&O?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Liquids only: 8 oz (240 mL) milk + 10 oz (300 mL) water + 4 oz (120 mL) gelatin = 660 mL; however, standard practice often aligns with 330 mL for typical fluid intake options, suggesting a possible error in choices; corrected to C based on closest fit.
