What is an acceptable measurement of urinary output?

40 oz.
300 cc.
2 cups.
1 quart.

The correct answer is: 300 cc.

The measurement of urinary output is typically expressed in milliliters or cubic centimeters (cc), and healthcare professionals use standardized units for accurate assessments. A measurement of 300 cc is within the normal range of expected urinary output, which can vary depending on factors like fluid intake and hydration status. To provide some context, the average adult human produces about 800 to 2000 cc of urine daily, depending on fluid intake. Therefore, a measurement of 300 cc is acceptable as a snapshot of output, especially if taken over a specific time period, such as during a single hour. In contrast, the other options present measurements that either exceed or do not align with typical assessment protocols for urinary output in a clinical setting. Understanding these measurements is crucial for monitoring a patient's hydration and kidney function effectively.
