Injuries included 3 broken ribs, broken sternum, broken left femur, contusions, open scalp wound of 4 cm. N/G tube was inserted. No previous medical history. (Topics covered: calculating basic IV drip rates on an infusion pump, determining hours an IV will run, adding medications to continuous IVs, enteral feeding, recording IV intake.)

Medication order: Tube feedings: administer ¼ strength Isocal at 60 mL/hour, total volume 240 mL.

Calculate the doses (round the infusion rates to the nearest whole number):

How much water to add to make ¼ strength Isocal? How much Isocal? What is the total fluid intake for 24 hours?

The nurse mixes 60 mL of water with 180 mL of Isocal. What error could happen?
