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.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["69"]

Convert the weight from pounds to kilograms

190 lb * (1 kg / 2.2046 lb) = 86.183 kg (rounded to three decimal places)

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of protein:86.183 kg * 0.8 g/kg = 68.946 g/day

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the client should receive approximately 69 grams of protein daily.
