Editing Nutrition – LPN Practice Questions (section)

==Question 2==
During an 8-hour shift, a client consumes 8 ounces of coffee, 4 ounces of apple juice, 6 ounces of broth, 4 ounces of gelatin, and 300 mL of water. How many milliliters of intake should the LPN document? (1 ounce equals 30 mL.)
# 660 mL
# 840 mL
# 960 mL
# 1080 mL

'''Answer:''' 3. 960 mL.

''Rationale:'' Convert each ounce measurement to milliliters: coffee 8 × 30 = 240 mL, juice 4 × 30 = 120 mL, broth 6 × 30 = 180 mL, and gelatin 4 × 30 = 120 mL, which totals 660 mL, plus 300 mL of water for a total of 960 mL. Gelatin and broth are counted as fluid intake because they are liquid at body temperature. The other options result from omitting the water, omitting the gelatin, or adding an item that was not consumed.
