A client has gained 2 pounds of weight in the past day. The nurse calculates this weight gain to be __________ ml of fluid.
|
1000. One pound of weight gain is equal to 500 ml; thus a 2-pound weight gain in 1 day is equivalent to 1000 ml.

Calculate the number of carbohydrate, protein, and fat calories in the following food, and determine the total number of calories in this serving.
One serving of food has 12 g of carbohydrate, 6 g of protein, and 8 g of fat. |
12 × 4 (each gram of carbohydrate has 4 kcal) = 48 cal
6 × 4 (each gram of protein has 4 kcal) = 24 cal 8 × 9 (each gram of fat has 9 kcal) = 72 cal Total number of calories = 144 cal |

A woman who has decided not to breast-feed asks the nurse if it is okay to feed her newborn infant regular cow’s milk. The nurse responds by saying:
|
No, cow’s milk should not be used during the first year of life because it may cause intestinal bleeding and is too concentrated for the infant’s kidneys to manage
|
|
|
A mother is considering buying skim milk for her children, ages 1½ and 5. What recommendation does the nurse make
|
The 1½-year-old will still need whole milk to ensure adequate intake of fatty acids necessary for brain and neurological development. The 5-year-old can be slowly introduced to skim milk so that it is gradually accepted.

A client was admitted to the hospital 5 days ago for a GI bleed. The client has received 4 units of blood over the past 5 days along with a maintenance fluid of normal saline at 125 ml/hour. What is of concern to the nurse with regard to this patient’s nutrition?
|
Normal saline has no calories in it. Hydration is being maintained, but nutrition is not. Although the client received blood to replace blood loss (most likely based on H and H findings), there are minimal calories in the blood. Five days is a long time to go without sufficient calories. The nurse needs to discuss alternate methods of providing sufficient calories to meet basic metabolic needs to the client.
