The patient voided six times during the past 24 hours: 250 mL, 500 mL, 325 mL,
300 mL, 175 mL, 275 mL. Calculate the total output for the previous day. Record
the answer using a whole number with no punctuation. __ mL
1825
Add the total amount of urine as no conversion is necessary. The 24-hour output in mL
is:250 mL + 500 mL + 325 mL + 300 mL + 175 mL + 275 mL = 1825 mL
The home health nurse is calculating the output reported by the patient for the
previous day. The patient reports urinating a total of five times: 10 ounces, 14
ounces, 12 ounces, 10 ounces, 8 ounces in addition to 2 ounces from the surgical
drain. Convert the ounces to mL and document the 24-hour output. Record the
answer using a whole number with no punctuation. __ mL
1680
Step 1: As the measurements are in oz, the total output in oz is:10 oz + 14 oz + 12 oz +
10 oz + 8 oz + 2 oz = 56 oz10 oz + 14 oz + 12 oz + 10 oz + 8 oz + 2 oz = 56 ozStep 2:
Unit conversion using dimensional analysis:The 24-hr output in mL is:30 mL1 oz × 56
