1.      Your patient drank 8 ounces of water and 1 ½ cups of juice.  For lunch they drank ½ pint milk, 16 ounces of soda and 1 cup of soup.  They also received 600 ml IV fluids during this eight hour shift.  How much total fluid did they receive in milliliters? _________________

To determine the total fluid intake in milliliters, we'll convert all the given fluid quantities into milliliters and sum them up.

### Step-by-step conversion:

1. **Water**:  
   1 ounce = 29.5735 milliliters  
   \( 8 \, \text{ounces} = 8 \times 29.5735 = 236.588 \, \text{milliliters} \)

2. **Juice**:  
   1 cup = 8 ounces = 236.588 milliliters  
   \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \, \text{cups} = 1.5 \times 236.588 = 354.882 \, \text{milliliters} \)

3. **Milk**:  
   1 pint = 16 ounces = 473.176 milliliters  
   \( \frac{1}{2} \, \text{pint} = \frac{1}{2} \times 473.176 = 236.588 \, \text{milliliters} \)

4. **Soda**:  
   \( 16 \, \text{ounces} = 16 \times 29.5735 = 473.176 \, \text{milliliters} \)

5. **Soup**:  
   1 cup = 236.588 milliliters  
   \( 1 \, \text{cup} = 236.588 \, \text{milliliters} \)

6. **IV fluids**:  
   \( 600 \, \text{milliliters} \)

### Total fluid intake:
Now, let's add all the milliliters:

\[
236.588 \, \text{(water)} + 354.882 \, \text{(juice)} + 236.588 \, \text{(milk)} + 473.176 \, \text{(soda)} + 236.588 \, \text{(soup)} + 600 \, \text{(IV fluids)} = 2,137.822 \, \text{milliliters}
\]

### Final Answer:
The total fluid intake is **2,137.82 milliliters**.
