Calculation
The nurse is reviewing instructions with a client who is to take 120 mL of a carbohydrate balanced meal replacement four times a day, three hours postprandial. The client has a measuring cup marked in ounces. How many ounces should the client take for each dose? (If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
ounces
Explanation & Rationale
The client is to take 120 mL of a carbohydrate balanced meal replacement. We know that 1 ounce is approximately equivalent to 29.5735 mL. Therefore, the volume in ounces is: 120mL / 29.5735mL/ounce ≈ 4.06ounces Rounding to the nearest tenth, the client should take 4.1 ounces for each dose.
