The nurse is educating an overweight female client about successful weight management programs and tells the client to reduce food intake to 1,000 to ______ calories per day to facilitate weight loss
Standard Text: Record your answer rounding to the nearest whole number.
What will be an ideal response?
Correct Answer: 1,200 (1200)
Rationale: Examining the client's diet and reducing the normal intake to 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day for women and to 1,200 to 1,600 calories per day for men is usually sufficient. However, small, progressive steps will be needed to achieve these values in clients who are accustomed to consuming two to six times the recommended daily calorie values. Weight loss of 0.5 to 1 kg (1 to 2 lbs) per week is usually a realistic goal and is physically safe.
