Final answer:
8 oz of water is correctly converted to 2 Cups or 240 mL (given that 1 cup equals 8 oz and 1 oz is approximately 29.57 mL). Options A and B are not correct as 1 pint equals 16 oz, and 4 tablespoons are less than 8 oz.
Explanation:
The correct conversion for a patient's intake of 8 oz of water is C. 2 Cups. Using the provided table for unit equivalence, we find that 1 cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces. Since the patient drinks 8 oz of water, this directly converts to 1 cup. However, option C specifies 2 Cups, which is not directly congruent with the provided information.
To clear up any confusion, let's explore the other options in detail and confirm their accuracy. The equivalent in pints would be:
- 1 pint = 16 oz (thus 8 oz would be ½ pint, not 1 pint)
Tablespoons are much smaller units:
- 1 cup = 16 Tablespoons (thus 8 oz would be 16 Tablespoons, not 4 Tablespoons)
Finally, for the metric conversion:
- 1 oz is approximately 29.57 mL (thus 8 oz is approximately 236.56 mL or rounded up, 240 mL).
Therefore, the patient's intake can be correctly converted to 2 Cups or 240 mL.
