Final answer:

The CNA should record a total of 7 fluid ounces on the I and O sheet, combining half of an 8-ounce glass of water (4 fluid ounces) with 3 ounces of Jell-O.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question asks how much the CNA should record on the I and O sheet (input and output sheet) given that a resident had half of an 8-ounce glass of water and 3 ounces of Jell-O. Since one cup is equal to eight fluid ounces, half of an 8-ounce glass of water is 4 fluid ounces. Adding the 3 fluid ounces of Jell-O, we have a total of 7 fluid ounces. There's no need for conversion to cubic centimeters (cc) since the answer should be in fluid ounces.

The answer to how much should the CNA record on the I and O sheet for the water and Jell-O consumption is 7 fluid ounces (Option B).
