A client is receiving an enteral feeding of 200 mL 3/4 strength Sustacal. The feeding is infusing at the rate of 12 gtts/minute and the drop factor is 10 gtts/mL. How long will it take for this tube feeding to be completed? Round to the nearest tenth decimal point. Question 6 (1 point) The client is prescribed 3/4 strength Ensure 240 mL via NG tube over 8 h. What is the pump setting in mL/hr? Round to the nearest whole number.

Step 1
- 3/4 strength means 3 parts formula and 1 part water. - Total volume = 200 mL. - Formula volume = 3/4 × 200 mL = 150 mL. - Water volume = 1/4 × 200 mL = 50 mL. Show more…
