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 JELLO0. How many milliliters of fluid did the patient ingest?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
1 ounce = 30 ml, so Juice, 6 ounces (half of 12 oz) × 30 = 180 ml (Remember that oz is an abbreviation for ounces.) Soup, 4 ounces × 30 = 120 ml JELL-OB, 6 ounces × 30 = 180 ml 180 + 120 + 180 = 480 ml Note that gelatin, ice cream, and other things that are liquid at room temperature are counted as fluids.
