A middle-age adult consumes about 1800 calories per day. The nurse counseling the client recommends about how many calories per day could come from fats?
1. 200 calories
2. 350 calories
3. 600 calories
4. 800 calories
3
Rationale: Adults should get about 20% to 35% of their daily calories from fats. The client who consumes about 1800 calories per day needs approximately 360 to 630 calories per day from fat. The calculation is as follows: (1800 calories x 0.20 = 360 calories to 1800 x 0.35 = 630).
