During an 8-hour shift a client drinks two 6-oz (180-mL) cups of tea and vomits 125 mL of fluid. Intravenous fluids absorbed equaled the urinary output. What is the client’s fluid balance during this 8-hour period? Record your answer using a whole number. ___ mL

The client’s fluid balance during this 8-hour period is 360ml.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to subtract the client's liquid loss (125ml of fluid) to the Client's intake (ml of tea).

Mathematically speaking:

360ml -125ml = 235ml

Where 360 is obtained by multiplying by 2 a 180ml cup of tea (because the client drinks 2 cups).

180 ml x 2 = 360ml

The client’s fluid balance during this 8-hour period is 360ml.
