The nurse is caring for a client who had the following intake during the shift. How many milliliters of total fluid intake should the nurse document in the client's flowsheet? Round off your answer to the nearest whole number

8 ounces of milk

8 ounces of water

12 ounces of carbonated beverage

3 tablespoons of medication

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["872"]

1 ounce (oz) ≈ 29.5735 milliliters (mL)
1 tablespoon (tbsp) ≈ 14.7868 milliliters (mL)

Now, let's convert each item:

8 ounces of milk = 8 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 236.588 mL
8 ounces of water = 8 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 236.588 mL
12 ounces of carbonated beverage = 12 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 354.882 mL
3 tablespoons of medication = 3 tbsp * 14.7868 mL/tbsp = 44.3604 mL

Finally, let's add up all the volumes to find the total fluid intake:

Total fluid intake = 236.588 mL + 236.588 mL + 354.882 mL + 44.3604 mL = 872.3984 mL

Rounded off to the nearest whole number = 872mL

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Foot care is crucial for individuals with diabetes due to the increased risk of neuropathy and poor circulation. Daily inspection for cuts, blisters, or other injuries is vital to prevent infections and complications, such as diabetic ulcers or amputations.
B. Heating pads should not be used by people with diabetes, as they may not be able to feel the heat due to diabetic neuropathy. This increases the risk of burns and injury. It is safer to use other methods for warming hands and feet, such as wearing socks or gloves.
C. People with diabetes are at an increased risk for infections, including pneumonia. The pneumonia vaccine (PPSV23 and/or PCV13) is recommended for individuals with diabetes to help reduce the risk of pneumonia. This statement is false.
D. People with diabetes should have regular eye examinations, but they should be scheduled annually, not every 5 years. Diabetes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, which can cause vision loss if not monitored and treated promptly. Annual eye exams are recommended to detect any changes early.

Correct Answer is ["30"]

Explanation

12 units of insulin should be delivered every hour.
In 250 mL of the IV solution, there are 100 units of insulin.
If 100 units are in 250 mL, then to find the volume for 1 unit, we divide the total volume by the total units: 250 mL ÷ 100 units = 2.5 mL/unit
Since we need to deliver 12 units per hour, and each unit is in 2.5 mL, we multiply the desired units per hour by the volume per unit: 12 units/hour × 2.5 mL/unit = 30 mL/hour
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the IV pump should be programmed to deliver 30 mL per hour.
