Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is prescribed 1250 mL of tube feed a day, run by pump over 16 hours. At what rate R do you set the pump, in mL/h? Round to the nearest whole number.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient on bolus tube feeding needs 1800 kcal a day from a formula that provides 1.2 kcal/mL. The daily amount is given as 8 equal boluses. What volume V is given in each bolus? Round to the nearest whole number.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the Devine formula to find the ideal body weight IBW of a man who is 193 cm tall (1 in = 2.54 cm). Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A 50 kg patient has a fluid goal of 35 mL/kg/day and receives all fluid through a feeding tube. The formula is 84% free water and runs at 85 mL/h for 18 hours a day. The rest of the fluid is given as water flushes every 6 hours. What volume V is each flush? Round to the nearest whole number.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A critically ill woman is 168 cm tall and weighs 95 kg. The practice protocol gives 2 g of protein per kg of ideal body weight (Devine) per day if the BMI is 30 to under 40 kg/m², and 2.5 g/kg of ideal body weight per day if the BMI is 40 kg/m² or more. Find the protein goal P in g/day. Round to the nearest whole number.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A critically ill woman is 166 cm tall and weighs 102 kg. The practice protocol gives 2 g of protein per kg of ideal body weight (Devine) per day if the BMI is 30 to under 40 kg/m², and 2.5 g/kg of ideal body weight per day if the BMI is 40 kg/m² or more. Find the protein goal P in g/day. Round to the nearest whole number.
