science nursing

Answer 1

Answer #1

Given

protein=9%

The standard volume is 1000ml

converting percentage into grams

9% per 1000ml

9÷100×1000=90g protein

The formula to calculate the protein is

(Number of g protein in 1000ml )×(total litres of feeding provided)=protein in feeding

90g per 1000ml × (total litres of feeding provided )=80g

888.8 ml or 889 ml will be administered in a day (80×1000÷90)
