ATI LPN Pharmacology Proctored Exam
A patient consumes 120 mL of orange juice and 120 mL of milk for breakfast, 260 mL of coffee for lunch, and 90 mL of an ice pop and 120 mL of ice cream for dinner. Calculate the intake for the 6 AM to 6 PM shift.
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A reason: 610 mL omits ice cream (120 mL); total is 120 + 120 + 260 + 90 + 120 = 710 mL; this undercalculation misses a key liquid intake component. Choice B reason: 710 mL sums all: 120 (juice) + 120 (milk) + 260 (coffee) + 90 (ice pop) + 120 (ice cream); melted solids count as fluid, matching clinical standards. Choice C reason: 810 mL overestimates; no additional fluids are listed beyond 710 mL; this error likely adds non-existent intake, skewing the total inaccurately. Choice D reason: 910 mL vastly exceeds reality; it may double-count or invent fluids; only 710 mL is supported by the listed consumption data provided.
