Correct Answer is ["1270"]

Explanation

Intake:

IV Fluids:

D5W: 150 ml/hr from 0700 to 1500 (8 hours) = 150 ml/hr * 8 hr = 1200 ml

Antibiotic: 50 ml every 4 hours, starting at 0800. So, it will be administered at 0800 and 1200 = 50 ml * 2 = 100 ml

Oral Intake:

Gelatin: 4 oz = 4 * 30 ml = 120 ml

Apple Juice: 10 oz = 10 * 30 ml = 300 ml

Water: 500 ml

Ice Chips: 16 oz (since ice chips are half liquid) = 16 * 30 ml / 2 = 240 ml

Total Intake: 1200 ml (D5W) + 100 ml (Antibiotic) + 120 ml (Gelatin) + 300 ml (Apple Juice) + 500 ml (Water) + 240 ml (Ice Chips) = 2460 ml

Output:

Urine Output:

0900: 100 ml

1100: 250 ml

1330: 290 ml

1445: 250 ml

Diarrhea Stool:

1200: 300 ml

Total Output: 100 ml + 250 ml + 290 ml + 250 ml + 300 ml = 1190 ml

Cumulative Fluid Balance:

Intake - Output: 2460 ml - 1190 ml = 1270 ml

So, the cumulative fluid balance for the 0700-1500 shift is +1270 ml.
