Posted almost 5 years ago Hi guy, new here. Just took my nclex exam the other day and i can't help thinking about one of the Q's there about fluids? I was ask to calculate the total amount of fluid intake. These are Frozen fruit drops, Ice cream, 150cc NaCl, Mashed Potato. Q: are mashed potato considered as part of the fluid intake? |

| Posted over 4 years ago I would have to consider if they are liquified or are they lumpy. This would be a soft diet and as a nurse aid I would consider it food |

| Posted over 4 years ago I was always taught if you can see through it, it's considered a liquid and if you can't it's considered food. So, the only thing I saw on your list, meeting this criteria is 150cc NACL |

| Posted over 4 years ago They may do it different at different places, but we always counted ice cream and popsicles as intake. We also counted soups. Did not count mashed potatoes. |
