Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the kcalories in an IV solution, we need to use the following formula:

Total kcalories = [(Volume of Dextrose x Dextrose strength x 3.4) + (Volume of Amino Acid x Amino Acid strength x 4)]

Using the information provided:

Total kcalories = [(1000 x 0.5 x 3.4) + (1200 x 0.07 x 4)]
Total kcalories = (1700 + 336)
Total kcalories = 2036

Therefore, the answer is choice C (2036).
