Final answer:
To calculate the volume of Suplena enteral nutrition needed to supply a 65 kg person with 22 kcal/kg/day, multiply the weight of the person by the desired kcal/kg/day and divide by the energy density. In this case, the volume would be 1430 ml.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of Suplena enteral nutrition needed to supply a 65 kg person with 22 kcal/kg/day, we first need to find the total calorie requirement. The total calorie requirement can be found by multiplying the weight of the person (65 kg) by the desired kcal/kg/day (22 kcal/kg/day):
Total calorie requirement = 65 kg * 22 kcal/kg/day = 1430 kcal/day
Next, we need to convert the calorie requirement from kcal to ml. The energy density of Suplena enteral nutrition can vary, but a commonly used value is 1.0 kcal/ml. Therefore, the volume of Suplena enteral nutrition needed would be equal to the total calorie requirement divided by the energy density:
Volume of Suplena enteral nutrition = Total calorie requirement / Energy density
Volume of Suplena enteral nutrition = 1430 kcal / 1.0 kcal/ml = 1430 ml (rounded to the nearest whole number)
