A client is instructed to consume 4 ounces of fluid during every waking hour. The client sleeps 8 hours a day. How many quarts of fluid will the client need to consume in one week?
1. 6
2. 8
3. 12
4. 14
4
Rationale 1: Quarts/week = 1 quart/32 ounces x 4 ounces/1 hours x 16 hours/1 day x 7 days/1 week. Multiply the numerators (1 x 4 x 16 x 7 = 448). Multiply the denominators (32 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 32). 448/32 = 14 quarts/week.
