List the steps of determining the nutrition prescription.
What will be an ideal response?
To determine the nutrition prescription, the clinician first calculates the patient's dosing weight, as well as protein, energy, and fluid requirements. The clinician then identifies the most appropriate type of formula based on the patient's diagnosis. Total energy needs are calculated and then divided by the caloric density of the formula. To determine the goal rate of administration, the clinician divides the total formula volume by the number of hours it was administered. The starting rate may be low, and then the rate is increased, as tolerated, to reach the goal rate.
