A Hesi A2 practice math question

Published

Can you help me on this. I've done them before, I just guess I need more practice on it.

A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output of a patient consuming a clear diet. The drainage bag denotes a total of 1,000mL for the past 24 hours. The total intake is:

2 8oz cups of coffee

1 16-oz serving of clear soup

1 pint of water consumed throughout the day

How much is the deficit in milliliters?

(enter numeric value only. If rounding is nesscessary round to the round to the whole number.)

I have it so far as this, I 've forgotten where to go next, and or even if I've done it right.

1,000mL = 24hr

24 hr 1 day

2 8 oz cups = 16 oz

1 16 oz soup = 16 oz

1 pint water = 16 oz

16+16+16 = 48

48oz X 30 (conversion to milliliters) = 1440

1440 - 1000 = 440
