Details:
16. First you need to find out how many cans of Jevity you
need to use in a day to deliver 60 mL/hr.
cans/day = 1 can/240mL x 60 mL/hr x 24 hr/day = 6 cans/day
Next you need to give a total of 255 mL of water per day in divided doses with
each can so divide 6 into 255 which equals 42.5 mL of water with each can of
Jevity.
