Mrs jones is a 55 year old woman, she is 5'6" tall and weighs 140 lbs (63.6 kg). she has suffered a stroke and is unable to eat; therefore, she is receiving a tube feeding. the tube feeding ordered for her provides: 1 calorie/ml and 40 grams of protein/1000 ml. it is infusing at a rate of 50 ml/hour for 24 hours.
hints:

calorie needs: since she is close to an ideal weight and is considered noncritical care, use the formula of 30 calories per kg of weight (page 142)
protein needs: use the rda for adults of 0.8 gms protein per kg of weight (page 50, note that some experts think that a range of 1.0 to 1.2 may be beneficial)
volume: ml per hour x hours of feeding = total volume of feeding
calories provided by tube feeding: number of calories per ml x total volume of feeding = total calories
protein provided by tube feeding: grams of protein per liter (1000 ml) x total liters of feeding provided = grams of protein. [liters of formula = volume of formula / 100.]
