Determine Olivia's daily caloric, protein, and fluid intake based on her 24 hour recall. Calculate Olivia's caloric, protein, and fluid requirements. Support the methods you used to calculate these values

What will be an ideal response?


• Olivia's 24 hour recall indicates that she consumed about 1000-1100 kilocalories, 40-45 g of protein, and 1000-1200 mL of fluid..
• Energy Requirements:
13.9 kcal/cm (due to 5-12 yrs of age and ambulatory) x 130.5 cm = ~1800 kcal/day

• Protein Requirements:
0.95 g/kg/day (4-13 yrs of age) x 23.1 kg = 22 g/day
• Fluid Requirements (equation used per > 21 kg):
1500 mL + (20 mL/kg (per every kg after 20) x 3.1 kg) = 1562 mL/day
