The nurse is reviewing the 12-hour intake and output record of a patient consuming a clear liquid diet. The urinary catheter collection bag has a total of 1200 mL for the entire shift. The patient has also produced 450 mL of green emesis throughout the shift. The patient consumed one cup of coffee for breakfast, one 16 oz. container of soup, and 4 oz. of ice. The patient has had two 50 mL infusions of piperacillin IV. What is the patient's total intake?
Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number.
Explanation
Use 1 cup = 8 oz and 1 oz = 30 mL.
Coffee: 1 cup = 8 oz = 8 × 30 = 240 mL.
Soup: 16 oz = 16 × 30 = 480 mL.
Ice: 4 oz = 4 × 30 = 120 mL.
IV piperacillin: 2 × 50 mL = 100 mL.
Outputs (urine 1200 mL and emesis 450 mL) are not included in intake.
Total intake = 240 + 480 + 120 + 100 = 940 mL.
Final Answer:940
Calculate the 12-hour intake of the following patient:
For breakfast, Mrs. Smith consumed 4 oz. of milk and 4 oz of black coffee. At 1030, she urinated 450 mL. At 1100, she received 125 mL of ampicllin IV and drank 400 mL of water. At lunch time, Mrs. Smith consumed 8 oz of water and 4 oz of apple juice. At 1300, Mrs. Smith urinated 400 mL of urine and produced 75 mL of green emesis. At 1500, Mrs. Smith consumed 7 oz of ice chips an 4 oz of jello. For dinner, she consumed 50% of her meal and 8 oz of soda and 8 oz of water.
Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number.
Explanation
Use 1 oz = 30 mL.
Breakfast: 4 oz milk + 4 oz coffee = 8 oz = 8 × 30 = 240 mL.
1030: urine output (450 mL) — not part of intake.
1100: 125 mL IV ampicillin + 400 mL water = 525 mL.
Lunch: 8 oz water + 4 oz apple juice = 12 oz = 12 × 30 = 360 mL.
1300: urine (400 mL) and emesis (75 mL) — outputs, not intake.
1500: 7 oz ice chips + 4 oz jello = 11 oz = 11 × 30 = 330 mL.
Dinner: 8 oz soda + 8 oz water = 16 oz = 16 × 30 = 480 mL. (Assumed “50% of her meal” provided no additional measurable fluid.)
Total intake = 240 + 525 + 360 + 330 + 480 = 1935 mL.
Final Answer:1935
The healthcare provider orders lanoxin 125mcg PO daily. Available from the pharmacy is lanoxin 0.05 mg/mL. How many mL will you administer?
Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number. Round to one decimal place (tenths).
Explanation

= 2.5
You are to administer 12.5mcg of levothyroxine PO to a patient. The pharmacy sends levothyroxine 0.025mg tablets. How many tablets should you administer?
Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number. Round to one decimal place (tenths)
Explanation
Ordered dose = 12.5 mcg
Supplied dose = 0.025 mg = 25 mcg
Number of tablets = Ordered dose ÷ Supplied dose
= 12.5 ÷ 25
= 0.5
Final Answer:0.5
The healthcare provider has ordered 500 mg of ampicillin. The vial is a 1 g vial, and after reconstitution, the label reads 1 g/5 mL. How many mL will you administer?
Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number. Round to one decimal place (tenths).
Explanation
Step 1: Available concentration = 1 g/5 mL = 1000 mg/5 mL = 200 mg/mL
Step 2: Ordered dose = 500 mg
Step 3: Volume to administer = 500 ÷ 200 = 2.5
Final Answer: 2.5
