Question

The patient is on strict intake and output. The patient is NPO for breakfast. For lunch the patient was allowed to take 120 mL of water. The patient vomited 180 cc at 1300 and voided 100 mL at 1330. At 1400 the patient took 2 Tbsp of Jello and ½ a cup of apple juice. Calculate the patient’s intake and output in mls. (you must get both answers correct) no partial credit will be given.

How do I solve this problem step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

We know the formula to convert cups into milliliters

1 cup= 48 ml

Therefore, 1/2 cup apple juice= 24 ml.

We know the formula , 1 Tablespool = 15ml

Therefore, 2 Tablespoon Jello = 30ml

Sl.no	Time	Liquid	Intake(ml)	Output(ml)
1	Breakfast	-	Nil per oral	-
2	Lunch	water	120 ml	-
3	13.00	-	-	180 ml(vomit)
4	13.30	-	-	100 ml(urine)
5	14.00	jello	30 ml	-
6	14.00	Apple juice	24 ml	-
TOTAL			174ml	280ml

Hence, Total intake= 174 ml

           Total output= 280 ml
