Amy has been on a moderate fluid restriction diet for her "heart condition" for a long time, but recently she has been getting worse. Her feet are swollen, and she put on 4 lb of "water weight". During her last doctor’s visit, she was advised to lower her fluid intake even more: from 30 ml/kg of body weight to 25 ml/kg. She has all this fluid restriction all figured out from previous recommendations. How much (in fluid ounces) does she need to cut her fluid intake? Amy is 5’4" and her regular weight, when not swollen, is 127 pounds.
