Mr. Long is on strict intake and output. The nurse tells you that you must be as precise as possible when recording the liquids he drinks. You filled Mr. Long's water pitcher, which holds 960 mL, at 10:00 a.m. At the end of your shift, the pitcher is 1/3 full. The drinking glass next to the pitcher is empty. Explain how to calculate how much water Mr. Long consumed.
What will be an ideal response?
You must estimate the amount of water originally in the pitcher, since it was not filled to capacity. Pour the remaining water into a graduated pitcher and measure it. Subtract this amount from the total amount in the container. Record the difference.
