The client is diagnosed with sickle cell crisis. The nurse is calculating the clientÔÇÖs intake and output (I&O) for the shift. The client had 20 ounces of water, eight (8) ounces of apple juice, three (3) cartons of milk with four (4) ounces each, 1,800 mL of IV fluids for the last 12 hours, and a urinary output of 1,200. What is the clientÔÇÖs total intake for this shift?
Correct answer
2840
Rationale
Oral intake: 20 oz water + 8 oz juice + (3 × 4 oz milk) = 36 oz. 1 oz = 30 mL, so 36 × 30 = 1,080 mL. IV fluids = 1,800 mL. Total intake = 1,080 + 1,800 = 2,840 mL. Output (1,200 mL) is not included.
