Question

the nurse is calculating a clients 24 - hour fluid intake. the client consumed coffee (8 oz), water (8 oz), and orange juice (6 oz) for breakfast; soup (4 oz) and iced tea (8 oz) for lunch; and milk (10 oz), tea (8 oz), and water (8 oz) for dinner. the client also consumed 24 oz of water during the day. how many milliliters of fluid did the client consume in the 24 - hour period? fill in the blank.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total fluid intake in ounces

Add up all fluid - amounts in ounces: $(8 + 8+6)+(4 + 8)+(10 + 8+8)+24=22 + 12+26 + 24=84$ oz

Step2: Convert ounces to milliliters

Since 1 oz = 30 mL, multiply total ounces by 30. So, $84\times30 = 2520$ mL

Answer:

2520
