Question
Answer
kcal in 1 gram of dextrose   4.3 kcal/g (3.4 kcal/g if glycerol.)  
🗑
kcal in 1 gram of lipid   10 kcal/g  
🗑
kcal in 1 gram of AA   4 kcal/g  
🗑
maximum concentration of dextrose in PN   10%  
🗑
max concentration of calcium in PN   5 mEq/L  
🗑
max concentration of potassium in PN   40 mEq/L  
🗑
max concentration of AA in PN   4%  
🗑
max infusion rate of lipid in 2-in-1 PN   0.1 g/kg/hr  
🗑
urine output target   0.5-2 ml/kg/hr  
🗑
typical fluid requirement for pt who is not fluid restricted [for PN should only use maintenance NOT replacement]   30-35 ml/kg/day (~2500-3500 ml/day)  
🗑
For patients with a BMI of <30 what is their daily caloric requirement   25-35 kcal/kg/day using actual body weight  
🗑
how do you determine caloric requirements for pts with BMI greater than 30   either use actual body weight and do 11-14 kcal/kg/day OR use IBW and do 22-25. some practitioners say use adjusted body weight or the Harris-Benedict equation. hopefully im not expected to have that memorized cuz it aint gonna happen.  
🗑
amino acid requirements for PN   if BMI less than 30 maintenance is 0.8-1 g/kg/day. and depending on stress may need up to 2 g/kg/day.protein requirements inc with increased BMI and renal pts on HD may require higher AA concentrations to maintain nitrogen balance without need less.  
🗑
how do you calculate the non-protein calories in PN   figure that lipid is 20-30% of total daily calories and the rest is dextrose (minus AAs)  
🗑
amino acid PN requirements for renal failure patients   if not on HD or CRRT then do 0.5-1 g/kg/day. if on IHD do 1.2-1.5 g/kg/day. if on CRRT then do 1.5-2 g/kg/day  
🗑
electrolyte imbalances that are hallmarks of refeeding syndrome   hypomag, hypokalemia, hypophos.  
🗑
prevention strategies for refeeding   cut initial caloric intake by 50% of total requirements then advance to goal. supplement prior to initiation of PN. identify risk factors such as anorexia, alcoholism, chronic illness, poor nutrition for 1-2 wks, malabsorption, cancer etc  
🗑
how does prealbumin levels help in PN   if low indicates malnutrition  
🗑
for every L of D5W given how much remains in the vascular space   100 ml. this is b/c D5W metabolizes to H2O and CO2. therefore acts as free water and goes everywhere.  
🗑
for every L of NS or LR, how much remains in the vascular space   25%  
🗑
for every L of albumin how much remains in the vascular space   5% - all of it stays 25% - you get a 5 fold increase due to increased oncotic pressure  
🗑
how many L of fluid does a typical adult have and how much is in each of the body compartments   42 L approximately. 60% of the total fluid is intracellular. the remaining 40% is extracellular and of that, 75% is interstitial fluid and 25% intravascular extracellular fluid which accounts for ~5L  
🗑
