A nurse is caring for a client who weighs 190 lb and is receiving total parenteral nutrition. If the RDA of protein is 0.8 g\/kg of body weight, how many grams of protein should the client receive daily? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To determine how many grams of protein the client should receive daily, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the conversion factor 1 lb=0.453592 kg1 \\text{ lb} = 0.453592 \\text{ kg}1 lb=0.453592 kg:190 lb\u00d70.453592 kg\/lb=86.18 kg190 \\text{ lb} \\times 0.453592 \\text{ kg\/lb} = 86.18 \\text{ kg}190 lb\u00d70.453592 kg\/lb=86.18 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 g\/kg0.8 \\text{ g\/kg}0.8 g\/kg of body weight. Multiply the weight in kilograms by the RDA:86.18 kg\u00d70.8 g\/kg=68.944 g86.18 \\text{ kg} \\times 0.8 \\text{ g\/kg} = 68.944 \\text{ g}86.18 kg\u00d70.8 g\/kg=68.944 g<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rounding 68.944 g to the nearest whole number gives:69 g69 \\text{ g}69 g<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The client should receive 69 grams<\/strong> of protein daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A nurse is caring for a client who weighs 190 lb and is receiving total parenteral nutrition.
