ATI Basic Care and Comfort Practice Test

Session length

1 / 20

A nurse is calculating the total fluid intake for a client during a 4-hr period. The client consumes 1 cup of coffee, 4oz of orange juice, 3oz of water, 1 cup of flavored gelatin, 1 cup of tea, 5 oz of broth, and 3oz of water. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client's record?

1,170mL

To arrive at the correct total fluid intake in milliliters (mL), it is essential to convert all the consumed volumes from cups and ounces into mL accurately.

First, we need to know the conversions:

- 1 cup = 240 mL

- 1 ounce (oz) = 30 mL

Now let's convert each item the client consumed:

- Coffee: 1 cup = 240 mL

- Orange juice: 4 oz = 4 x 30 = 120 mL

- Water: 3 oz = 3 x 30 = 90 mL

- Flavored gelatin: 1 cup = 240 mL

- Tea: 1 cup = 240 mL

- Broth: 5 oz = 5 x 30 = 150 mL

- Water (again): 3 oz = 3 x 30 = 90 mL

Now, add all these volumes together:

- Coffee: 240 mL

- Orange juice: 120 mL

- Water (first quantity): 90 mL

- Flavored gelatin: 240 mL

- Tea: 240 mL

- Broth: 150 m
