Cb, a 63 year old male, is receiving 1,150 ml of d30w, 860 ml of aminosyn 8.5%, and 340 ml of intralipid 10% in his pn therapy. what percentage of the non-protein calories are represented by dextrose? (answer must be numeric; no units or commas; round to the nearest whole number.)

The correct answer is - 76%  percentage of the non-protein calories are represented by dextrose

Explanation:

Given :

d30w = 1,150 ml

aminosyn 8.5% = 860 ml

intralipid 10% = 340 ml

solution:

30 g/100 mL = x g/1150 mL = 345 g

D = 3.4 kcal x 345 g = 1173 kcal

L 10% = 1.1 kcal x 340 mL = 374 kcal

1173 kcal D + 374 kcal L10% = 1547 kcal of non-protien calories

1173 kcal D ÷ 1547 kcal total = 76%

Thus, the correct answer is - 76%  percentage of the non-protein calories are represented by dextrose
