Final answer:
The total liquid intake of the patient is two-thirds of a 6-oz glass of milk, 125 ml of coffee, and half of an 8-oz bowl of soup. After conversion and calculation, the intake is 362 mL, which the health assistant should record. so the closest option is C.365 ML.
Step-by-step explanation:
The health assistant needs to calculate the total liquid intake of a patient to accurately record it on the I & O sheet. The liquids consumed by the patient are two-thirds of a 6-oz glass of milk, 125 ml of coffee, and half of an 8-oz bowl of soup.
First, we convert ounces to milliliters, knowing that 1 ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. Then we multiply 6 oz by two-thirds to find the volume of milk consumed, and by half for the volume of soup consumed, followed by adding the volume of coffee consumed, which is already in milliliters.
Milk: (6 oz) * (2/3) * (29.5735 mL/oz) = 118.294 mL
Soup: (8 oz) * (1/2) * (29.5735 mL/oz) = 118.294 mL
Coffee: 125 mL
Total intake: 118.294 mL + 118.294 mL + 125 mL = 361.588 mL
To record the intake, the health assistant would round this value to the nearest whole number, which is 362 mL.
