Question

Your patient has had a catheter. He has taken in 7 oz. of orange juice and 5 oz. of pomegranate juice. Bladder irrigation was 2,000 mL. At the end of your shift, the catheter bag reads 2,270 mL. What would you record as the patient's intake in mL? A. 300 mL B. 360 mL C. 630 mL D. 700 mL

Answer 1

The patient's intake in mL is 360 mL. The correct answer is B. 360 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the patient's intake in mL, we need to add up the amounts of orange juice and pomegranate juice the patient consumed. The patient took in 7 oz. of orange juice and 5 oz. of pomegranate juice. Since 1 oz. is approximately equal to 30 mL, we can convert the amounts to mL: 7 oz. x 30 mL/oz. = 210 mL and 5 oz. x 30 mL/oz. = 150 mL. Therefore, the patient's intake in mL is 210 mL + 150 mL = 360 mL. The correct answer is B. 360 mL.
