Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: First the nurse should add up all of the fluid ingested in ounces or 12 + 12 + 16 = 40 ounces. Then use dimensional analysis. L/day = 1 L/1000 mL x 30 mL/1 ounce x 40 ounces/1. Multiply numerators (1 x 30 x 40 = 1,200). Multiply denominators (1000 x 1 x 1 = 1000). 1200/1000 = 1.2 L.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: Previous height in inches = 1 inch/2.5 cm x 135 cm/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 135 = 135). Multiply the denominators (2.5 x 1 = 2.5). 135/2.5 = 54 inches. Current height in inches = 1 inch/2.5 cm x 140 cm/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 140 = 140). Multiply the denominators (2.5 x 1 =1). 140/2.5 = 56. 56 - 54 = 2 inches. The child has grown 2 inches since the last measurement.
