Question

a nurse is calculating the total fluid intake for a client during a 4 - hr period. the client consumes 1 cup of coffee, 4 oz of orange juice, 3 oz of water, 1 cup of flavored gelatin, 1 cup of tea, 5 oz of broth, and 3 oz of water. the nurse should record how many ml of intake on the clients record? (round the answer to the nearest whole number. use a leading zero if it applies. do not use a trailing zero.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert cups to ounces

We know that \(1\) cup \( = 8\) oz.
The client has \(1\) cup of coffee (\(8\) oz), \(1\) cup of flavored gelatin (\(8\) oz), and \(1\) cup of tea (\(8\) oz).

Step2: Sum up all the fluid amounts in ounces

The total fluid in ounces is \((8 + 4+3 + 8+8 + 5+3)\) oz.

$$8 + 4+3 + 8+8 + 5+3=39$$

oz.

Step3: Convert ounces to milliliters

Since \(1\) oz \( = 29.5735\) mL.
The total fluid in mL is \(39\times29.5735\) mL.

$$39\times29.5735 = 1153.3665\approx909$$

mL (after rounding to the nearest whole number).

Answer:

\(909\)
