The nurse takes in 3000 mL of GoLYTELY (polyethylene glycol) and asks the patient to drink an 8 oz cup every 30 minutes until finished. How long will that take?
Homework Answers
Given data
Total mL of polyethylene glycol= 3000 mL
Patient need to take 8 oz every 30 mins
1 oz cup = 29.5 mL
Therefore 8 oz cup = 8 x 29.5 = 236.5 mL
So, patient need to take 236.5 mL of polyethylene glycol in every 30 mins
3000/236.5 = 12.68 proximately 13- Means patient has to finish 3000 mL of polyethylene glycol in 13 doses of 236.5 mL
Each dose has to take in every 30 mins
So, in 1 hr patient can take 2 doses of 236.5 mL of polyethylene glycol
So 13 /2 = 6.5 hrs
Means that 13 doses of 235.6 mL of polyethylene glycol (3000mL) can finish by 6.5 hrs
Answer is Patient will take 6.5 hrs to finish 3000mL of Polyethylene glycol
