1. For the above patient what would be total carbohydrate daily?
- A. 304 Kcal
- B. 3.4 Kcal
- C. 1156 Kcal
- D. 62 Kcal
Ans:
C
Tips: A. For total carbohydrates daily at 62 mL per hour, in a day (dextrose 20%) Would be (20/100) x 62 x 24 = 300 g/day
We have also dextrose @ 42 mL per hour,
4/100 x 42 x 24 = 40.32 g/day
Now total carbohydrates 300 + 40.32 = 340 grams per day (or)
1g is 3.4 k.cal), so 340 x 3.4 = 1156 K.cal
We have also dextrose @ 42 mL per hour,
4/100 x 42 x 24 = 40.32 g/day
Now total carbohydrates 300 + 40.32 = 340 grams per day (or)
1g is 3.4 k.cal), so 340 x 3.4 = 1156 K.cal
