The nurse is admitting a critical client to the ICU. During the nutrition assessment, the nurse uses a simple method for estimating the client's total calorie needs based on his weight of 60 kg and the fact that he is not obese
Approximately how many calories would this client require? A) 1260 to 1360 calories C) 1500 to 1800 calories
B) 1320 to 1440 calories D) 1800 to 2400 calories
C
Feedback:
A simple formula of 25 to 30 cal/kg can be used for nonobese adults to determine their calorie intake. Therefore, 60 kg × 25 cal/kg = 1500 calories and 60 kg × 30 cal/kg = 1800 calories.
