The nurse is calculating intake for a client. The client received: ,¢ Two 100 mL intravenous antibiotics ,¢ Two eight-ounce cups of ice ,¢ One eight-ounce cup of coffee ,¢ Three eight-ounce cups of water. The nurse should document the client's total intake as how many mL? Fill in the blank.
Correct Answer: 1160 mL
Rationale: Convert ounces to mL: 8 oz = 240 mL. Ice counts as half volume: 240 mL ÷ 2 = 120 mL per cup. Total: 200 mL (antibiotics) + 240 mL (2 cups ice) + 240 mL (coffee) + 720 mL (3 cups water) = 1160 mL.
