Question

Question 3 (1 point) How many kcal of protein did a patient receive in 48 hours if the TPN had 6.5% amino acids and was infusing at 55 mL/hr? (Round to the nearest WHOLE number). kcal Question 4 (1 point) How many kcal of carbohydrate will be required for a patient with severe burns (protein requirements 3 g/kg/day) who's TDE is 3360 kcal. Lipids account for 30% of TDE and the patient weighs 68 kg. (Round to the nearest WHOLE number) Akcal

Answer 1

3. Patient recieving 6.5% of amino acid

Flow rate = 55ml /hour

In 1hour 55 ml

Then ,in 48hr ,it would be 48×55 ml = 2640ml

Protein calculation = 2640 of 6.5% amino acid

= 2640 × 6.5/ 100

= 171.6 gm

Now , 1gm of protein privide 4kcal

Then 171.6gm will provide = 4×171.6 kcal

4. TDE of the patient is 3360 kcal

Weight of the patient is 68kg

Lipids - 30% of TDE

Carbohydrate requirement is 3-5 gm /kg

= 68( 3-5) gm

= 204-. 340gm of carbohydrates

1 gm carbohydrate provide 4kcal

Then , 340 gm of carbohydrates provides 340× 4

= 1360 kcal
