Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is prescribed 1200 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). Use the Devine formula to find the ideal body weight IBW of a woman who is 183 cm tall (1 in = 2.54 cm). Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the Devine formula to find the ideal body weight IBW of a man who is 185 cm tall (1 in = 2.54 cm). Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A child who weighs 3.5 kg receives 5% dextrose at 21 mL/h. Find the glucose infusion rate GIR in mg/kg/min. Round to two decimal places.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A critically ill man is 177 cm tall and weighs 154 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.
Answer key
- 1. R = 104 mL/h
- 2. R = 60 mL/h
- 3. IBW = 73.2 kg
- 4. IBW = 79.5 kg
- 5. GIR = 5 mg/kg/min
- 6. P = 181 g/day
