    Calculation

    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 mi of intake on the client's record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number, enter numeric value only)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    10 mL medication 3 oz formula (1 oz = 30 mL → 3 × 30 = 90 mL) 2 oz juice (2 × 30 = 60 mL) IV fluids at 20 mL/hr for 8 hours (20 × 8 = 160 mL) Total intake: 10 + 90 + 60 + 160 = 320 mL Correct Answer: 320
