Feb 4, '07 by neneRN. We give it IV frequently in the ED; however, the vial does say for IM use only. Actually, probably the only time we give it IM is when a pt is very combative/agitated and we can't keep them still long enough to insert an IV.
The newest product from Boost is Boost Calorie Smart designed for diets requiring low calories and high protein. Each 8 oz bottle contains 190 calories and 16 g of protein. There are 7 g of fat and 10 mg of cholesterol. Total carbohydrate equals 16 g with 3 g coming from fiber and 4 g coming from sugars.
I see one person making comments about how the sugars/carbs arenât so bad. But Boost seems to have way too much from what I can see, a lot more than Ensure with its 54g per can. I have a 237 ml (8 oz) bottle of Boost and it says it has 13.9 g/100 mL, or 33g in the 237 mL bottle. just came back from the store and for the second time in about 3 months I bought a pack of Ensure. The last time I bought it I had planned on looking up meal replacement drinks and checking out what the evidence behind it is.
