I need help with my nutrition assignment. I did a nutrition assessment on my patient and she was on TPN. The contents include:
Amino acids 4.25%
Dextrose 25%
Na 77 meQ
Potassium 80 meQ
Mg 5 meQ
Cl 39 meQ
Ph 30 meQ
Ca 4.5 meQ
Multivitamins 10 mL
Trace elements 3mL
Insulin reg 15 units
I believe there was 500 cc in the TPN bag that my patient consumed in the 24 hours. So I basically need to include this content in this "MyPyramid Worksheet" (http://www.mypyramid.gov/downloads/worksheets/Worksheet_1600_18.pdf). I email my professor and she tells me that I can break down the calories from fats, proteins (or amino acids) and carbohydrates. How would I incorporate it into this worksheet then?
Any suggestions would greatly help!
