Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is prescribed 1200 mL of tube feed a day, run by pump over 24 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 tube feed that provides 1.5 kcal/mL runs at 80 mL/h for 24 hours a day. How many kilocalories E does the patient receive per day?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An 89 kg patient needs 1.3 g of protein per kg a day. The tube feed contains 63 g of protein per litre and runs at 80 mL/h for 18 hours a day. How many grams of extra protein ΔP a day are still needed? Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A 66 kg patient needs 1.2 g of protein per kg a day. The tube feed contains 44 g of protein per litre and runs at 50 mL/h for 20 hours a day. A protein powder supplies 10 g of protein per scoop. How many scoops n a day are needed to cover the shortfall? Round up to a whole scoop.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A critically ill woman is 160 cm tall and weighs 94 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 man is 170 cm tall and weighs 119 kg. The practice protocol gives 13 kcal/kg of actual body weight per day if the BMI is 30–50 kg/m², and 25 kcal/kg of ideal body weight (Devine) per day if the BMI is above 50 kg/m². Find the energy goal E in kcal/day. Round to the nearest whole number.
