Automatic Calculation of a Subsequent Time Based on User Input in Adobe Acrobat Form

I am dealing with a form where one is required to enter a specific event time, and another related field automatically calculates a subsequent time point, which is a certain number of hours later. The concrete example of this would be a medical scenario where the arrival time for an appointment is entered, and a "cease consumption" time is automatically generated, being a specified number of hours post arrival time. For instance, if the entered arrival time is 5:30 PM and one needs to halt consumption 2.5 hours post arrival, the form should automatically compute and populate the "cease consumption" field with 8:00 PM. I have encountered several similar questions, yet there are nuances that prevent me from simply adapting the calculation script to fit my case.

What are those "nuances", exactly? If you give us all the details we might be able to help you solve those problems.
