Help with Nutrition Assignment

Published

First off, thank you for reading this!

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!
