The nurse is reviewing the 12-hour intake and output record of a patient consuming a clear liquid diet. The urinary catheter collection bag has a total of 1200 mL for the entire shift. The patient has also produced 450 mL of green emesis throughout the shift. The patient consumed one cup of coffee for breakfast, one 16 oz. container of soup, and 4 oz. of ice. The patient has had two 50 mL infusions of piperacillin IV. What is the patient's total intake?
Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number.
The Correct Answer is ["940"]
Use 1 cup = 8 oz and 1 oz = 30 mL.
Coffee: 1 cup = 8 oz = 8 × 30 = 240 mL.
Soup: 16 oz = 16 × 30 = 480 mL.
Ice: 4 oz = 4 × 30 = 120 mL.
IV piperacillin: 2 × 50 mL = 100 mL.
Outputs (urine 1200 mL and emesis 450 mL) are not included in intake.
Total intake = 240 + 480 + 120 + 100 = 940 mL.
Final Answer: 940
