What is the total intake in mL for the following: 18 oz. Ensure, 20 oz. juice, 500 mL ice chips, 1.5 L bolus, and 4 oz. juice?

To determine the total intake in mL, each volume of fluid provided in different units must be converted to milliliters and then summed.

1. Ensure: 18 oz. of Ensure needs to be converted to mL. There are approximately 29.57 mL in 1 oz., thus:

[

18 \text{ oz.} \times 29.57 \text{ mL/oz.} \approx 533.06 \text{ mL}

]

2. Juice: The total juice intake consists of two separate amounts: 20 oz. and 4 oz.

[

(20 \text{ oz.} + 4 \text{ oz.}) \times 29.57 \text{ mL/oz.} = 24 \text{ oz.} \times 29.57 \text{ mL/oz.} \approx 710.88 \text{ mL}

]

3. Ice Chips: 500 mL of ice chips is directly counted as 500 mL.

4. Bolus: 1.5 L can also be converted to mL. Since
