A patient has the following intake: a cup of oatmeal, a half cup of ice, 3 ounces of apple juice, and 6 ounces of coffee. What is the total intake the nurse should document on the intake portion?

a. 210 mL
b. 390 mL
c. 600 mL
d. 630 mL


B
The oatmeal is not counted because it is not fluid. A half cup of ice = 120 mL because it equals 50% of the measured volume. The juice is 3 ounces = 90 mL, and 6 ounces of coffee = 180 mL. Therefore the total is 120 + 90 + 180 = 390 mL.
