DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS

Question 1

Differentiate between macro and micro drip factors

Answer 1

Macro — 10 gtt/mL
Micro — 60 gtt/mL (normally for pediatrics)

Question 2

How many mL/cc/oz are in a juice carton at a hospital?

Answer 2

4oz = 4cc = 120mL

Question 3

A 1/2 pint milk carton and a cup of coffee each have ________ ounces (oz) of fluids. Convert to mililiters (mL)

Answer 3

8 ounces (oz) = 240mL = 240cc

Question 4

4oz of cranberry juice
4 oz ice cream
8oz of coffee/tea
1/2 pint of milk
Convert to mL. Find total amount of fluids taken orally.

Answer 4

4oz = 120cc = 120mL
4oz = 120cc = 120mL
8oz = 240cc = 240mL
1/2 pint = 8oz = 240cc = 240mL
____________________
Total = 720mL fluids

Question 5

1/2 oz = ______ g
1 oz = _____ g
5 oz = _____ g
1/2 cup = _____oz
1 cup = _____ oz = _____ mL
1lb = _____ g = _____ cups = ____oz = ____mL

Answer 5

1/2 oz = 15 g
1 oz = 29 g
5 oz = 141 g
1/2 cup = 4 oz = 120 mL
1 cup = 8 oz = 240 mL
1lb = 453 g = 2 cups = 16 oz = _480_mL

Question 6

A nurse is adding up a patient’s intake and
output. Intake includes 180 mL of coffee, 4
ounces of gelatin, a 12-ounce can of soda, and
120 mL of water. The intake totals:
A. 540mL
B. 700mL
C. 780mL
D. 880mL

Answer 6

180mL
4 oz = 120mL
12oz = 360mL (120mL (also 4oz) x 3)
120mL
_________
TOTAL = 780
Answer: C

Question 7

Convert to mL

Answer 7

1cc = 1mL
1tsp = 5mL | 10mL = 2teaspoons (tsp)
1TBS = 15mL
1oz = 30mL
2TBS = 1oz
1cup = 1/2ping = 8oz = 240mL
1/2cup = 4oz = 120mL
