If a client states they are voiding 1 1/2 quarts and 2 1/2 quarts on consecutive days, how many liters does this equate to?

To determine the total volume in liters from the given amount of urine in quarts, it's essential to understand the conversion factor between quarts and liters. One quart is approximately equal to 0.946 liters.

By converting the volumes provided:

1. For the first day, 1 1/2 quarts is equivalent to:

• (1.5 \text{ quarts} \times 0.946 \text{ liters/quart} = 1.419 \text{ liters}) (approximately).

2. For the second day, 2 1/2 quarts is equivalent to:

• (2.5 \text{ quarts} \times 0.946 \text{ liters/quart} = 2.366 \text{ liters}) (approximately).

Now adding both amounts together:

• (1.419 \text{ liters} + 2.366 \text{ liters} = 3.785 \text{ liters}) (approximately).

This total rounds to about 3.75 liters, aligning with the choice provided as the correct answer. This understanding of unit conversions is crucial in pharmacology, especially when evaluating fluid intake and output in clinical settings.
