Question

What

is the amount of dextrose in mg/kg/min provided by the following
TPN for 60 kg patient?
What is the amount of dextrose in \( \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{min} \) provided by the following TPN for a \( 60 \mathrm{~kg} \) patient? Round to 1 decimal place, do not enter units Dextros

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of dextrose in mg/kg/min provided by TPN for a 60 kg patient, the concentration of dextrose in the TPN solution is needed. Without this information, a specific answer cannot be provided. However, an example calculation is given for a 5% dextrose solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of dextrose in mg/kg/min provided by TPN (total parenteral nutrition) for a 60 kg patient, we need to know the concentration of dextrose in the TPN solution. Without this information, it is not possible to provide a specific answer.

However, I can provide you with an example calculation for a different situation. Let's say the TPN solution has a concentration of 5% dextrose (equivalent to D5W solution). In that case, the amount of dextrose provided in mg/kg/min would be 5% of the patient's weight in mg divided by 60 minutes.

For a 60 kg patient, the calculation would be: (5% x 60,000 mg) / 60 min = 500 mg/kg/min.
