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.)
Correct answer
69
Rationale
Convert 190 lb to kg (86.18 kg), multiply by 0.8 g/kg = 68.94, round to 69 g.
