    Calculation

    A nurse is calculating a client's fluid intake over the past 8 hr. The client had one 8-oz cup of coffee, 3 oz of juice, and 12 oz of soda. The client's water pitcher had 800 mL and 200 mL remain. The client also had IV fluids infusing at 40 mL/hr via an IV pump. How many mL should the nurse document as the client's total intake for the shift?

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Intake Sources: Coffee: 8 oz Juice: 3 oz Soda: 12 oz Water from pitcher: 800 mL − 200 mL = 600 mL IV fluids: 40 mL/hr × 8 hr = 320 mL Step 1: Convert ounces to mL (1 oz ≈ 30 mL) Coffee: 8 × 30 = 240 mL Juice: 3 × 30 = 90 mL Soda: 12 × 30 = 360 mL Step 2: Add all intake 240 + 90 + 360 + 600 + 320 = 1,610 mL Answer: 1,610 mL
