Question: The nurse practitioner orders half-strength enteral formula at a rate of 55 mL/hr. A can holds 250 mL. How many cans would the nurse need for the next 24 hours?
Answer: ________ cans
Rationale: 55 mL/hr X 24 hours/day = 1320 total mL for 24 hours or 5.28 cans ÷ 2 (half-strength) = 2.64 cans, or 3 cans.
