Question

How many ml of total fluid was ingested if a patient had 6oz juice, 4oz water, 8oz diet soda, 10 oz coffee, and 6 oz milk?

A. 760 ml
B. 780 ml
C. 800 ml
D. 820 ml

Answer 1

The total fluid ingested by the patient is 1005 mL when converting each fluid ounce measurement to milliliters and summing them.

However, this total is not one of the provided answer choices, suggesting a possible error in the question or answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the total volume of fluids ingested by a patient in milliliters. We have the following volumes in fluid ounces that need to be converted to milliliters (1 fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters):

• 6 oz juice
• 4 oz water
• 8 oz diet soda
• 10 oz coffee
• 6 oz milk

Now, let us convert each amount to milliliters:

1. 6 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 177.441 mL
2. 4 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 118.294 mL
3. 8 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 236.588 mL
4. 10 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 295.735 mL
5. 6 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 177.441 mL

Next, we sum all the converted milliliter amounts to find the total fluid intake:

177.441 mL + 118.294 mL + 236.588 mL + 295.735 mL + 177.441 mL = 1005.499 mL

However, the options provided do not include this result. Please double-check the question and the available answer choices for correctness. If the calculation or the available choices provided is incorrect, then the fluid intake in milliliters would be as calculated above, which is not an option provided.

If we consider rounding to the nearest milliliter:

177 mL + 118 mL + 237 mL + 296 mL + 177 mL = 1005 mL
