Math Problem Statement

1.      Your patient drank 8 ounces of water and 1 ½ cups of juice.  For lunch they drank ½ pint milk, 16 ounces of soda and 1 cup of soup.  They also received 600 ml IV fluids during this eight hour shift.  How much total fluid did they receive in milliliters? _________________

Solution

To determine the total fluid intake in milliliters, we'll convert all the given fluid quantities into milliliters and sum them up.

Step-by-step conversion:

  1. Water:
    1 ounce = 29.5735 milliliters
    8ounces=8×29.5735=236.588milliliters8 \, \text{ounces} = 8 \times 29.5735 = 236.588 \, \text{milliliters}

  2. Juice:
    1 cup = 8 ounces = 236.588 milliliters
    112cups=1.5×236.588=354.882milliliters1 \frac{1}{2} \, \text{cups} = 1.5 \times 236.588 = 354.882 \, \text{milliliters}

  3. Milk:
    1 pint = 16 ounces = 473.176 milliliters
    12pint=12×473.176=236.588milliliters\frac{1}{2} \, \text{pint} = \frac{1}{2} \times 473.176 = 236.588 \, \text{milliliters}

  4. Soda:
    16ounces=16×29.5735=473.176milliliters16 \, \text{ounces} = 16 \times 29.5735 = 473.176 \, \text{milliliters}

  5. Soup:
    1 cup = 236.588 milliliters
    1cup=236.588milliliters1 \, \text{cup} = 236.588 \, \text{milliliters}

  6. IV fluids:
    600milliliters600 \, \text{milliliters}

Total fluid intake:

Now, let's add all the milliliters:

236.588(water)+354.882(juice)+236.588(milk)+473.176(soda)+236.588(soup)+600(IV fluids)=2,137.822milliliters236.588 \, \text{(water)} + 354.882 \, \text{(juice)} + 236.588 \, \text{(milk)} + 473.176 \, \text{(soda)} + 236.588 \, \text{(soup)} + 600 \, \text{(IV fluids)} = 2,137.822 \, \text{milliliters}

Final Answer:

The total fluid intake is 2,137.82 milliliters.
