A client is prescribed to receive enteral feedings to begin at 25 mL/hr 2 4 hours, 50 mL/hr x 2 hours, 75 mL/hr x 2 hours, and 100 mL/hr x 2 hours. In order to prepare the feeding bag for the entire 8 hour shift, how many mL of tube feeding should the nurse place in the feeding bag? Calculate to the nearest whole number
What will be an ideal response?
500 mL
Rationale: The nurse needs to calculate the feeding as follows: 25 mL x 2 = 50; 50 mL x 2 = 100; 75 mL x 2 = 150; and 100 mL x 2 = 200. The nurse should add up the 2 hour totals or 50+100+150+200 = 500 mL. The feeding bag should contain 500 mL.
