A nurse is calculating a client’s fluid intake over the past 8 hr. The client had one 8-oz cup of coffee, 3 oz of juice, and 12 oz of soda. The client’s water pitcher had 300 ml and 200 ml remains. The client also had IV fluids infusing as 40 mL\/hr via an infusion pump. How many ml should the nurse document as the client’s total Intake for the shift?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To calculate the client’s total fluid intake over the past 8 hours, we need to add up all the fluids consumed orally and the IV fluids infused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
