Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale 1: First determine the amount of full strength Ensure that is used to make 500 mL of  strength by using the equation  = 500 x mL; 500/3/4 = 500 x 0.75 = 375 mL. Then divide the amount of full-strength Ensure by 8 or 375 mL/8 = 46.875 mL. The client is receiving 46.875 mL of full-strength Ensure every hour.

Answer to Question 2

100 mEq
