Question

Let’s say that the patient drinks an 8-ounce glass of orange juice. The nurse must convert that to milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cc) in order to record the intake volume in the patient’s fluid input and output chart. (Remember 1 mL = 1 cc.)

Answer 1

Answer: 8 ounce = 237 ml

Explanation:

From the information given,

volume of drink taken by patient = 8 ounce

We want to convert 8 ounce to ml

Recall,

1 US fluid ounce = 29.57 ml

Thus,

8 ounce = 8 x 29.57 = 236.56

Approximately,

8 ounce = 237 ml
