A client remains on strict measurement of intake and output (1&O) on the second postoperative day. During breakfast, the client consumed 4 ounces of a protein shake, a cup of black coffee, and 6 ounces of apple juice. How many mL should the nurse document in the client's record? (Enter numerical value only.)

A. Call the healthcare provider to clarify if the client may have ice cream as requested. Ice cream is not a clear liquid and may not be appropriate for a client scheduled for surgery. The nurse should clarify the client's dietary restrictions with the healthcare provider before providing ice cream.
B. Offer to prepare a chocolate-flavored liquid nutritional supplement poured over ice. While this option may provide some chocolate flavor, it may not satisfy the client's request for ice cream.
Additionally, the nurse should confirm with the healthcare provider before offering any alternative to the prescribed clear liquid diet.
C. Provide the chocolate ice cream after determining the presence of bowel sounds. This action does not address the appropriateness of ice cream for a clear liquid diet before surgery. The nurse should clarify with the healthcare provider before providing ice cream.
D. Explain that a popsicle or a cup of gelatin can be provided rather than ice cream. While popsicles and gelatin are clear liquids and may be appropriate for the client's clear liquid diet, this option does not address the client's specific request for chocolate ice cream. The nurse should clarify with the healthcare provider before providing any alternatives.

A. Clients who are between the ages of 19 and 64-years-old. While adults in this age range do need to maintain good hydration, their water needs are not as increased as those of lactating mothers.
B. Older adult clients who are receiving dialysis twice a week. These clients typically have fluid restrictions to manage fluid balance and prevent complications related to dialysis and kidney function.
C. Adolescent females who are menstruating. Although menstruating females do need to stay hydrated, their water requirements are not as high as those of lactating mothers.
D. Lactating mothers who are breastfeeding. Breastfeeding mothers require significantly more water to support milk production. Increased fluid intake is necessary to replace the fluids lost through breastfeeding and ensure both the mother's and the baby's hydration needs are met.
