Answer to Question 1

990; 750

One cup of ice is equal to one-half cup of water. Therefore, 120 mL of ice is 60 mL of intake. One ounce is equal to 30 mL, so 2 ounces equals 60 mL. Therefore, the combined intake is 990 mL and the combined output is 750 mL.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Pain control, immobilization, activity restrictions, and prevention of recurrence are part of the care to a patient with a soft-tissue injury. Bed rest is not warranted with this type of injury.
