Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is prescribed 1440 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 tube feed that provides 1 kcal/mL runs at 90 mL/h for 20 hours a day. How many kilocalories E does the patient receive per day?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A man is 186 cm tall and weighs 105 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). A 71 kg patient needs 1.3 g of protein per kg a day. The tube feed contains 44 g of protein per litre and runs at 55 mL/h for 16 hours a day. A protein powder supplies 5 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 child who weighs 20 kg receives 12.5% dextrose at 59 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 woman is 165 cm tall and weighs 126 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.
