I have just registered as a new member. I am an LPN student and I am hoping that by registering as a member, I would be able to get assistance in preparing for my exams and homework.
I would like to get an answer to this question and show how the answer /solution was arrived at -
A client post-gastrectomy has an order for IV fluids to maintain hydration. Since 1 liter of a 5% dextrose solution contain 50 g of sugar, 3 liters/day would supply approximately how many kilocalories?
Thank you, I hope I will benefit a lot from being a member.

Hi, tony g!
Tweety's answer for you is correct. There was an exact question like that on my state board exam for a 1 liter bottle (no bags back in 1975) of D5W and I never forgot it!
Good luck with your LPN studies. See you on the student forums!
