During a focused assessment the nurse learns that a patient consumes one 1000 mL box of wine each day
If the patient is using a 5 ounce glass, how many drinks would the nurse document that this patient consumes daily? Round your number to the nearest whole number.
7
Rationale : One ounce is equivalent to 30 mL. Multiply 30 mL x 5 = 150 mL as the amount of each glass of wine. Next divide 150 mL by 1000 mL or 1000 mL/150 mL = 6.67, which is the number of drinks the patient consumes each day. With rounding to the nearest whole number, the nurse would document that the patient consumes 7 drinks per day.
