    Calculation

    A nurse is calculating the total fluid intake for a client during a 4-hr period. The client consumes 1 cup of coffee, 4 oz of orange juice, 3 oz of water, 1 cup of flavored gelatin, 1 cup of tea, 5 oz of broth, and 3 oz of water. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client's record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Convert all measurements to milliliters (mL) 1 cup = 240 mL 1 oz = 30 mL Intake: Coffee: 1 cup = 240 mL Orange juice: 4 oz × 30 = 120 mL Water: 3 oz × 30 = 90 mL Flavored gelatin: 1 cup = 240 mL Tea: 1 cup = 240 mL Broth: 5 oz × 30 = 150 mL Water: 3 oz × 30 = 90 mL Step 2: Add all intakes 240 + 120 + 90 + 240 + 240 + 150 + 90 = 1,170 mL Final Answer: 1,170 mL
