Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is prescribed 1600 mL of tube feed a day, run by pump over 20 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 needs 1800 kcal a day from a tube feed that provides 1 kcal/mL. The feed runs by pump for 12 hours a day. 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 man is 195 cm tall and weighs 127 kg. Find the actual weight as a percentage of the ideal body weight, %IBW, using the Devine formula (1 in = 2.54 cm). 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 179 cm tall (1 in = 2.54 cm). Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A critically ill woman is 160 cm tall and weighs 135 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 child who weighs 3 kg receives 10% dextrose at 7 mL/h. Find the glucose infusion rate GIR in mg/kg/min. Round to two decimal places.
