Determine the following for Ensure at 68 ml/hour (Note: when working with volumes of
formula for enteral formula, it is expressed in total volume/ml not as cans or ounces. For
example: 1200 mls, not 5 cans)

3.
How much Perative would need to be delivered to provide about 2,500 calories and about
130 protein?
Total volume in mls: 2500/1.3 = 1923 mL
Protein: 1.923 * 66.7 = 128.3 grams

Calculate how much Impact is necessary to provide 80 grams of protein. What is the total
volume, calories and free fluid that it would provide?
a.
Total volume (ml): 56g/L * 80g = 1.4 L
b.
c.
6.
How many cans of Nutren 2.0 are necessary to provide 1250 calories? How much protein
does it provide? How much free fluid? (when supplements are consumed PO, they are
usually expressed in cans/day)
a.
# of cans: 1250 cals/ 2 cals/mL = 625 mL
625 mL/ 250 mL = 2.5 cans/days
b.
Protein (g): 84g/L * .625 = 52.5 grams
c.
Free Fluid: 692mL/ L * .625 L = 432.5 mL

9.
How much of the following nutrients would be provided in 2 Glucerna meals bars?
a.
Kcals: 150 * 2 = 300 cals
b.
Protein: 10g * 2 = 20
c.
For the following Standard TPN solution, calculate the requested information:
2800 ml of 50% CHO and 8.5% AA.
a.
Protein (grams): Standard: 8-12 grams/protein
2.8 L * 8.5g/L = 23.8 g
b.
c.
10.
Total calories:
476 kcal protein + 2380 kcal carbs = 2856 kcal
Calculate the nutritional provisions in a standard solution of 2,450 ml 50% CHO, 10%
protein, and 10% lipids (500mls) QOD
a.
b.
Total NPC:
1225 mL * .5 = 612.5g carbs
612.5 g * 3.4 kcal/g = 2082.5 kcal carbs
500mL * 1.1 kcal/mL = 550 kcals
550kcal fat * 3.5 = 1925/ 7 days = 275 kcal fat

c.
11.
Total calories:
490+ 2082.5 + 275 = 2847.5 cals
Calculate the following: 1,200 ml of 70% CHO; 1,000 ml of 8.5 % protein; and 20%
lipids (in 500 ml bag) given QOD to a 74 kg person.
a.

What is the max amount of CHO for this person: 5-6 ml/ kg
6 mL * 1440 min * 74 = 639360 mg 639.36 g
12. MC is starting on TPN (wt. 61 kg). You determined his needs to be 2,650 kcals/day and
protein needs at 91 grams. He will get 10% lipids 3 times/week. Write a TPN order using
60% dextrose and 8.5% AA (include protein calories) to meet his needs:
