Table 2.8)? (2.7) Clinical Applications 2.109 The following nutrition information is listed on a box of crackers: (2.6) Serving ize 0.50 oz (6 crackers) Fat 4 g pur serving; Sodium 140 mg per serving a. If the box has a net weight (contents only) of 8.0 oz, about how many crackers are in the box? b. If you ate 10 crackers, how many ounces of fat did you consume? c. How many servings of crackers in part a would it take to obtain the Daily Value (DV) for sodium, which is 2.4 g? 2.110 A dialysis unit requires 75 000 mL of distilled water. How many gallons of water are needed? (2.6) 2.111 To treat a bacterial infection, a doctor orders 4 tablets of amox- icillin per day for 10 days. If each tablet contains 250 mg of ony ounces of the medication are given inExplanation / Answer
#2.109. a. Number of crackers in box =
Net weight of box x (number of crackers per 0.5 oz)
= 8.0 oz (6 crackers /0.5 oz)
= 2.67 crackers
#b. Amount of fat consumed =
Number of crackers eaten x amount of fat per 6 crackers
= 10 crackers x (4 g fat / 6 crackers)
= 6.67 g ; [1 g = 0.035274 oz]
= 6.67 x (0.035274 oz)
= 0.235 oz
#c. Number of crackers required for obtaining 2.4 g sodium (Na) =
Amount of Na required / (amount of Na per 6 crackers)
= 2.4 g / (140 mg/ 6 crackers)
= 2400 mg / (140 mg/ 6 crackers)
= 17.14 crackers
Now,
Required number of servings =
Required no. of crackers / number of crackers per serving
= 17.14 crackers / (6 crackers/ serving)
= 2.85 serving
Since number of servings must be a whole number, the required no. of serving = 3
#2.110. Number of gallons = Volume in liters x number of gallons in 1 liter
= 75.0 L x (0.264172 gallon/ L)
= 19.81 gallons
#2.111. Total number of tablets taken 10 days = (4 tab / day) x 10 days
= 40 tablets
Total amount of medication in 10 days =
Total number of tabs x amount of amoxicillin per tab
= 40 tabs x (250 mg/ tab)
= 10000 mg
= 10 g ; [1 g = 0.035274 oz]
= 10 x (0.035274 oz)
= 0.35274 oz
