I wish you'd learn to spell grammar.
Your commas and apostrophes are correct. However, I'd put a period after oz. and change the fraction to words -- one-half hour.
wow thanks!
You're welcome.
True.
To determine if the sentence is punctuated correctly, we can break it down and analyze each comma and apostrophe usage.
"The infant’s first dextrose stick after delivery was 23," This part of the sentence uses an apostrophe correctly to show possession (the dextrose stick belonging to the infant). The comma after "23" is used correctly to separate the two independent clauses.
"however, the child drank 1 oz of formula," The comma after "however" is used correctly to separate the introductory adverb from the main clause.
"and the repeat dextrose stick 1/2 hour later was 63." The comma is not needed in this part of the sentence since there is no need to separate any clauses.
Therefore, the sentence is punctuated correctly, and the answer is true.
