Extract:
Client is a physical trainer, weighs 220 lb, requires an increase of protein by 20 g/kg/day, has taken 0.8 g of protein/kg/day in the past
Question 5 of 4
How much total protein/day should the nurse recommend? Be sure to enter the number AND the unit of measurement (g).
Correct Answer: 2200 g
Rationale: The correct answer is 2200 g/day. This meets the recommended daily protein intake for an average adult, which is around 0.8 g/kg of body weight. For a 70 kg adult, this would be 56 g of protein per meal, totaling 168 g/day. Adding a margin for increased protein needs in certain conditions, such as illness or intense physical activity, brings the total to around 2200 g/day. Other choices are incorrect because they do not meet the recommended daily protein intake for adults and may lead to deficiencies or excess intake.
