Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 26
A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output (I&O) of a patient consuming a clear diet. The drainage

serving of clear soup1 pint of water consumed throughout the dayHow much is the deficit in
milliliters?
CORRECT ANSWER
2 8 oz cups = 16 oz

1 pint water = 16 oz
16+16+16 = 48
48oz X 30 (conversion to milliliters) = 1440
1440 - 1000 = 440
RATIONALE
The patient's total intake of 48 ounces, when converted to milliliters (48 oz * 30 mL/oz = 1440 mL), exceeds the
recorded output of 1000 mL, resulting in a deficit of 440 mL. This calculation highlights the importance of
accurate fluid balance monitoring in patient care.
