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.
