What is the total intake for a client during a 7AM to 3PM shift given the following: milk 180ml, orange juice 60ml, eggs, toast, Ensure 240ml, and water 50ml?

1. 500ml

2. 530ml

3. 560ml

4. 600ml

The correct answer is: 530ml

To determine the total intake for the client during the specified shift, it is essential to add up all the fluid volumes provided. The intake values given are: - Milk: 180 ml - Orange Juice: 60 ml - Ensure: 240 ml - Water: 50 ml First, you add the volume of milk and the orange juice: 180 ml (milk) + 60 ml (orange juice) = 240 ml. Next, include the volume of Ensure: 240 ml + 240 ml (Ensure) = 480 ml. Finally, add the amount of water to the total: 480 ml + 50 ml (water) = 530 ml. Thus, the total intake during the shift is 530 ml. This amount represents the combined volume of all liquid consumables provided to the client during the 7AM to 3PM timeframe, accounting solely for the fluids, which is an important aspect of monitoring a patient's intake for hydration and nutritional needs.
