Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is prescribed 2000 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 tube feed that provides 1.5 kcal/mL runs at 60 mL/h for 16 hours a day. How many kilocalories E does the patient receive per day?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A man is 178 cm tall and weighs 82 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). An 86 kg adult (BMI below 30) needs 35 kcal/kg/day. The tube feed provides 1.5 kcal/mL and runs by pump for 20 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 critically ill woman is 161 cm tall and weighs 135 kg. The practice protocol gives 11 kcal/kg of actual body weight per day if the BMI is 30–50 kg/m², and 23 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.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A critically ill man is 185 cm tall and weighs 180 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.
