Health care workers are expected to communicate effectively with co-workers, patients, and their families. In the United States, standard units of measure are common, and metric units of measure are less common. Patients or their families may be expected to measure their medicine and fluid intake and convert these measurements to metric units. It is essential to explain how to do this in terms a patient will understand. Write instructions to a 75-yearoldpatient explaining the difference between ounces and cubic centimeters. Your instructions must describe how to measure and calculate the patient's 24-hour fluid intake.
