Question
The nurse is calculating intake for a client.The client received one 100 mL intravenous antibioticOne eight-ounce cup of ice chipsOne eight-ounce cup of coffeeOne eight-ounce cup of ice creamThree eight-ounce cups of waterThe nurse should calculate the client's total intake as how many mL? Fill in the blank.
Solution
To calculate the total intake, we need to convert all the measurements to the same unit. In this case, we'll convert everything to milliliters (mL).
-
The client received one 100 mL intravenous antibiotic. This is already in mL, so no conversion is needed.
-
One eight-ounce cup of ice chips. One ounce is approximately 30 mL, so eight ounces is 240 mL. However, when ice melts, it decreases in volume by about half, so we'll count this as 120 mL.
-
One eight-ounce cup of coffee. Again, one ounce is approximately 30 mL, so eight ounces is 240 mL.
-
One eight-ounce cup of ice cream. This is also 240 mL.
-
Three eight-ounce cups of water. Each cup is 240 mL, so three cups is 720 mL.
Now, we add all these amounts together:
100 mL (antibiotic) + 120 mL (ice chips) + 240 mL (coffee) + 240 mL (ice cream) + 720 mL (water) = 1420 mL.
So, the nurse should calculate the client's total intake as 1420 mL.
