Question 1 of 5
A client is on a clear liquid diet. She drinks half of a 12-ounce juice, 4 ounces of soup, and has a 6-ounce JELLO®. How many milliliters of fluid did the patient ingest?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To calculate the total amount of fluid ingested, convert the ounces to milliliters. Given that 1 ounce is equal to 30 ml, the breakdown is as follows: Juice (6 ounces): 6 x 30 = 180 ml. Soup (4 ounces): 4 x 30 = 120 ml. JELLO® (6 ounces): 6 x 30 = 180 ml. Adding these together: 180 ml (juice) + 120 ml (soup) + 180 ml (JELLO®) = 480 ml.
Therefore, the patient ingested a total of 480 ml of fluid. It's important to note that gelatin, ice cream, and similar items that are liquid at room temperature should be considered as fluids.
Choice A, 440 ml, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation.
Choice C, 220 ml, is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct total.
Choice D, 660 ml, is incorrect as it overestimates the total fluid intake.
