,A three-month old boy weighing 10 lbs 15 oz
has an axillary temperature of 98.9° F. The
nurse determines the daily caloric need for this
child is approximately
400 calories per day.
500 calories per day.
600 calories per day.
700 calories per day. - ANSWER-600 calories
per day.
Rationale: 10 lbs 15 oz = 10.9 lbs. Convert lbs to
kg by dividing pounds by 2.2; 10.9/2.2 = 4.954
kg, rounded to 5 kg. An infant requires 108
calories/kg/day (108 × 5 = 540 calories/day).
However, this infant requires 10% more
calories because he has one degree
temperature elevation. 10% of 540 is 54 and
540 + 54 = 594. This infant will require
approximately 600 calories/day. Tough
,question! You know that 400 calories are too
few and 700 are too much, and a temperature
elevation necessitates consumption of more
calories, so choose the higher of the two
choices left!
