The physician ordered 2/3 strength Ensure 6 oz PO q4h for 24 hrs. What is the total volume in mL you would administer in 24 hrs?

Convert ounces to millilitres (1 oz = 29.5735 mL): 6 oz×29.5735 mL/oz=177.441 mL6 Calculate the frequency of doses per day: The patient receives a dose every 4 hours, so in 24 hours, the number of doses is: 24 hours/4 hours/dose=6 doses Calculate the total volume for all doses: 177.441 mL/dose×6 doses=1064.646 mL Rounding to the nearest whole number=1080 mL
