    Calculation

    A client consumes 8 ounces (oz) of broth, 4 oz of apple juice, 4 oz of flavored gelatin and 1 banana. During the same shift, this client receives 1 liter of IV fluid and voids 700 mL. How many mL total oral and IV intake should the PN document on the client's medical record? (Enter numeric value only.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Convert all oral fluid intake from ounces (oz) to milliliters (mL) conversion factor of 1 oz = 30 mL. Broth: 8 oz x 30 mL/oz = 240 mL Apple juice: 4 oz x 30 mL/oz = 120 mL Flavored gelatin: 4 oz x 30 mL/oz = 120 mL Convert the IV fluid intake from liters (L) to milliliters (mL). Conversion factor = 1 L = 1000 mL IV fluid: 1 L x 1000 mL/L = 1000 mL Sum all the fluid intake volumes (oral and IV). Total Intake (mL) = (Broth + Juice + Gelatin) + IV Fluid Total Intake (mL) = (240 mL + 120 mL + 120 mL) + 1000 mL = 480 mL + 1000 mL = 1480 mL.
