Final answer:
To calculate the daily caloric requirement of an 8-year-old child who weighs 26 kg, multiply the weight by the caloric requirement per kilogram. To calculate the number of calories per day needed for a 12-year-old boy with burns, multiply the weight by the caloric requirement per kilogram, then add 50% for the increased metabolic needs of healing. To calculate the number of ounces of formula needed for a 3-month-old baby, divide the caloric requirement by the energy value of the formula.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the daily caloric requirement of an 8-year-old child who weighs 26 kg, we can use the caloric requirement formula, which is 70 KCal/kg/day. So, we multiply the weight of the child by the caloric requirement per kilogram: 26 kg * 70 KCal/kg/day = 1820 KCal/day.
To calculate the number of calories per day needed for a 12-year-old boy admitted to the Pediatric unit with burns, we need to consider the additional 50% for increased metabolic needs of healing. First, we calculate the caloric requirement without the healing factor: 48.4 kg * 55 KCal/kg/day = 2662 KCal/day. Then, we add 50% of this value for the increased metabolic needs of healing: 2662 KCal/day * 0.5 = 1331 KCal/day. Finally, we add the two values together: 2662 KCal/day + 1331 KCal/day = 3993 KCal/day.
To calculate the number of ounces of Enfamil formula needed for a 3-month-old baby to meet a daily caloric requirement of 108 KCal/kg/day, we first need to convert the weight of the baby from grams to kilograms: 5285 gm / 1000 = 5.285 kg. Then, we multiply the weight of the baby by the caloric requirement per kilogram: 5.285 kg * 108 KCal/kg/day = 570.780 KCal/day. Finally, we divide the caloric requirement by the energy value of the formula: 570.780 KCal/day / 20 KCal/oz = 28.539 oz/day.
