Dosage Calculations Practice Questions 1) Calculate the fluid intake in milliliters (mL) for the following food items. 3 oz grape juice 6 oz broth 9 oz coffee 12 oz soft drink TOTAL = d. 900mL

Step 1:

1 oz = 30mL

Therefore,

3 oz grape juice = 3 x 30 = 90mL

6 oz broth = 6 x 30 = 180mL

9 oz cofee = 9 x 30 = 270mL

12 oz soft drink = 12 x 30 = 360mL.

Step 2:

Total mL = 90 + 180 + 270 +360 = 900mL.

2) How much IV fluid would you document as fluid intake if 350 mL is left in a 1,000-mL IV bag? b. 650mL

Total fluid = 1000mL

Remaining fluid = 350mL

Total intake = 1000 - 350 = 650mL.

3) How much IV fluid would you document as fluid intake if 625 mL is left in a 1,000-mL IV bag? a. 375mL

Total fluid = 1000mL

Remaining fluid left in the bag = 625mL

Total intake = 1000 - 625 = 375mL.
