A nurse is completing the 8-hr l&0 record for a client who consumed 4 oz of clear soda, 1 piece of toast, 12 oz of water, 1 cup of fruit-flavored gelatin, and 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
The client also received 300 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride IV. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client's record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
The Correct Answer is ["1140"]
To calculate the total intake, we need to convert all measurements to mL. 1 oz is approximately 30 mL, 1 cup is approximately 240 mL. So, 4 oz of soda is 120 mL, 12 oz of water is 360 mL, 1 cup of gelatin is 240 mL, and 1/2 cup of broth is 120 mL. Adding these to the 300 mL of IV fluid gives us 1140 mL. However, the toast is not a liquid and cannot be measured in mL, so it is not included in the total intake.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale:
Cardiac output is the amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute. It is not the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat.
Choice B rationale:
The cardiac cycle refers to the sequence of events that occur when the heart beats. It is not the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat.
Choice C rationale:
Systole is the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood from the chambers into the arteries. It is not the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat.
Choice D rationale:
Stroke volume is the volume of blood ejected from the ventricles during each beat. This is the correct answer.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale:
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a method of feeding that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. It’s not the same as a feeding ostomy.
Choice B rationale:
Nasogastric refers to a tube that is placed through the nose into the stomach. It’s not a term for a feeding method.
Choice C rationale:
Parenteral refers to routes of administration that are not oral or enteral, such as intravenous. It’s not the same as a feeding ostomy.
Choice D rationale:
Enteral feeding is the correct term for feeding a patient through a feeding ostomy. It involves delivering nutrition directly to the stomach or small intestine.
