To determine the total intake in milliliters for a 14-year-old adolescent over an 8-hour shift, it is important to convert all the intake values to the same unit, which in this case is milliliters.

  1. Start with the available items that are already in mL:
  • Vomit: 200 mL

  • Water: 60 mL

  1. Convert the items measured in ounces to milliliters. The conversion factor is that 1 oz is approximately 29.57 mL. Therefore:
  • Milk: 4 oz × 29.57 mL/oz ≈ 118.3 mL

  • Soup: 3 oz × 29.57 mL/oz ≈ 88.7 mL

  • Ice cream: 4 oz × 29.57 mL/oz ≈ 118.3 mL

  1. Now, add all the converted values together to find the total intake:
  • Milk: 118.3 mL

  • Muffin: Since the muffin is a solid, it does not contribute to the liquid intake and should be excluded from total volume calculations.

  • Vomit:
