The nurse is totaling the amount of fluid that a client has ingested for breakfast: 4 ounces juice; 8 ounces coffee; 2 ounces milk. How many milliliters of fluid should the nurse document for the client?
1. 70
2. 210
3. 340
4. 420
4
Rationale 1: First, add the total number of ounces of fluid the client ingested or 4 + 8 + 2 = 14 ounces. Then determine the amount of mL with dimensional analysis. mL= 30 mL/1 ounce x 14 ounces/1. Multiply the numerators (30 x 14 = 420). Multiply the denominators ( 1 x 1 = 1). 420/1 = 420 mL.
