Solution
It seems like you are recording fluid intake and output, likely for medical purposes. Let me break this down into fluid intake and fluid output for easier tracking.
Fluid Intake:
- 2 grape popsicles (40 mL each): 40 mL × 2 = 80 mL
- 4 ounces of meatloaf: Typically, meatloaf is solid, so we won’t count this in fluid intake.
- 4 ounces of water: 4 oz = 120 mL
- 1 Caesar salad: Generally, salad isn’t counted as a fluid, so not counted here.
- 2 packs of red blood cells (250 mL each): 250 mL × 2 = 500 mL
- 2 cans of ginger ale (12 ounces each): 12 oz × 2 = 24 oz = 710 mL
- 50 mL IV flush: 50 mL
- 20 mL IV flush: 20 mL
- 8 ounces of liquid meal supplement: 8 oz = 240 mL
- 1 Caesar salad: Same as above, not counted as fluid.
- 8 ounces of tea: 8 oz = 240 mL
- 3 ounces of meatloaf: Solid, not counted.
- 20 mL free water flush: 20 mL
- 11 ounces of apple juice: 11 oz = 330 mL
Total Fluid Intake:
80 mL + 120 mL + 500 mL + 710 mL + 50 mL + 20 mL + 240 mL + 240 mL + 20 mL + 330 mL = 2,310 mL
Fluid Output:
- 7 ounces of water output: 7 oz = 210 mL
- Emptied 950 mL from Foley catheter: 950 mL
- Emptied 150 mL from Foley catheter: 150 mL
- Emptied 850 mL from Foley catheter: 850 mL
- Emesis (vomiting) 50 mL: 50 mL
- Emptied 759 mL from Foley catheter: 759 mL
Total Fluid Output:
210 mL + 950 mL + 150 mL + 850 mL + 50 mL + 759 mL = 2,969 mL
Net Fluid Balance:
Fluid Intake: 2,310 mL
Fluid Output: 2,969 mL
Net Balance: 2,310 mL - 2,969 mL = -659 mL
This indicates a negative fluid balance, meaning more fluid was output than was taken in.
Would you like more details on fluid management, or have any questions about the process?

- Why is it important to monitor IV fluids and blood products in fluid intake?
- How do solid foods contribute to fluid balance?
- What are the risks of fluid overload or deficit in clinical settings?
- How can you calculate fluid requirements based on body weight?
Tip: Always check if any medications or procedures influence fluid output, such as diuretics or dialysis.
