A nurse is calculating the fluid intake for an infant at the end of an 8-hr shift. For oral intake, the infant had 10 mL of medication, 3 oz of formula, and 2 oz of juice. In addition, the infant had IV fluid infusing at 20 mL/hr via an IV pump. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the clients record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)

To calculate: 1. Convert units: 1 oz = 30 mL 3 oz formula = 3 oz x 30 mL/oz = 90 mL 2 oz juice = 2 oz x 30 mL/oz = 60 mL 2. Calculate total oral intake: Total oral intake = 10 mL (medication) + 90 mL (formula) + 60 mL (juice) = 160 mL 3. Calculate IV fluid intake: IV fluid intake = 20 mL/hr x 8 hr = 160 mL 4. Calculate total fluid intake: Total fluid intake = 160 mL (oral) + 160 mL (IV) = 320 mL Answer: 320 mL
