QuestionCalculate the fluid intake in milliliters for the following food items. Please fill in each blank. If the item is not included in , then write 0 . Assume
- a soup bowl holds 4 oz ,
- a Jell-o cup holds 2 oz,
- a glass holds 8 oz .
Calculate the mL , for each item below, that would be included in the patient's intake.
bowl tomato soup = mL
1 lime Jell-o cup = mL
quart iced tea mL
1 glass water = mL
2 bagels mL
TOTAL mL
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
We need to figure out how many milliliters of fluid a patient drank, given some food and drink they had, and some info about how much liquid each container holds.
Bagels don't count!
Watch out!
We need to be careful with the units, ounces (oz) and quarts, and remember to convert everything to milliliters (mL).
Also, bagels are tricky because they are *not* liquid!
STEP 2
1. Tomato Soup
2. Lime Jell-o
3. Iced Tea
4. Water
5. Bagels
6. Total Intake
STEP 3
We know a *full* bowl of soup is oz, but the patient only had a bowl.
So, they had oz of tomato soup.
Since oz is about mL, the patient had **mL** of tomato soup.
STEP 4
The patient had one full cup of Jell-o, which is oz.
Multiplying by mL per oz, we get **mL** of Jell-o.
STEP 5
The patient drank a quart of iced tea.
Since quart is oz, half a quart is oz.
Converting to milliliters, we have **mL** of iced tea.
STEP 6
One glass of water holds oz.
Multiplying by , we get **mL** of water.
STEP 7
Bagels are *not* liquid!
So, they don't count towards the fluid intake.
That means we add **0 mL** for the bagels.
STEP 8
Let's add up all the milliliters we calculated: **mL**.
STEP 9
The patient's total fluid intake was mL: - bowl tomato soup = mL - lime Jell-o cup = mL - quart iced tea = mL - glass water = mL - bagels = mL - TOTAL = mL
