If a resident drinks four ounces of water with a meal how many milliliters (mL) has he consumed?

  • A. 16
  • B. 30
  • C. 64
  • D. 120
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. Therefore, 4 ounces would be 4 x 29.5735 = 118.294 milliliters. Since we are asked for an approximation, the closest option is 120 mL (choice D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from ounces to milliliters in this scenario.
