    Calculation

    The nurse has orders for strict intake and output on a dehydrated client. The client wears a size 4 diaper with a dry weight of 27 grams. The weight of a soiled urine diaper from the client is 284 grams. How many mL of urine did the client produce? Round to the nearest whole number. Record numerical answer only.

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is calculate the weight of the urine by subtracting the dry diaper weight from the soiled diaper weight, which is 284 grams – 27 grams = 257 grams. Step 2 is convert the weight of the urine from grams to milliliters (mL), using the conversion factor that 1 gram of urine is equivalent to 1 mL of urine, so 257 grams is equal to 257 mL. The numerical answer is 257.
