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. Polyuria, a common symptom in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, can lead to excessive urinary loss of potassium, increasing the risk of hypokalemia. Monitoring serum potassium is crucial because imbalances can affect cardiac and muscle function.
B. While magnesium is important, it is not the primary concern in the context of polyuria related to diabetes unless specific symptoms or complications suggest a deficiency.
C. Calcium is not as directly affected by polyuria from diabetes as potassium is.
D. Chloride levels may fluctuate with fluid loss, but potassium remains the more critical electrolyte to monitor in this scenario.

A. A 75-year-old female client who has diabetes mellitus type 1. B. A 68-year-old male client who has testicular cancer. C. A 48-year-old male client with a history of hyperthyroidism. D. A 40-year-old female client who received radiation treatment for breast cancer 8 years ago.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. A 75-year-old female client who has diabetes mellitus type 1: While older age and gender (female) may slightly increase the risk of thyroid cancer, diabetes mellitus type 1 is not a known significant risk factor for thyroid cancer.
B. A 68-year-old male client who has testicular cancer: Testicular cancer itself is not strongly associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer. While cancer survivors may face a higher risk for secondary cancers, testicular cancer is not typically linked to thyroid cancer.
C. A 48-year-old male client with a history of hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism does not increase the risk for thyroid cancer. In fact, hyperthyroidism is more commonly associated with conditions like Graves' disease and toxic goiter, not thyroid cancer.
D. A 40-year-old female client who received radiation treatment for breast cancer 8 years ago: Previous radiation treatment, particularly at a young age, is a well-established risk factor for developing thyroid cancer. Radiation exposure can damage the DNA in thyroid cells, leading to an increased risk of cancer later in life.
