It is important to meet the protein needs of all the clients. As the nurse caring for a client with fractures, how many grams of protein per kilogram of body weight should his diet provide?
 
  A) 0.8 to 1.2 g B) 1.0 to 1.5 g C) 1.2 to 2.0 g D) 2.0 to 2.2 g

Question 2

Mr. T reports that he stopped taking the new medication he was prescribed at his last clinic visit because it caused gastric distension, flatulence and diarrhea.
 
  The nurse looked up possible side effects of the medication and these were not listed, but when she spoke with the pharmacist he informed her that the side effects were probably caused by: 1. Lactose which was used as a filler in the medication.
   2. Taking the medication with food.
   3. Taking the medication without food.
   4. Taking the medication at bedtime.

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Recommended amounts range from 1.2 g/kg to more than 2.0 g/kg, or 20 to 25 of total calories, depending on the client's weight and type of critical illness. There is little evidence to support or refute any of the methods used in determining protein requirements.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Lactose is used as filler in some medications and causes adverse side effects in clients with lactose intolerance. Medications should be taken as directed with or without food or at bedtime since recommendations are based on receiving the greatest benefit from the drugs.
