A patient with chronic kidney disease is prescribed a diet containing 0.75 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day. The patient weighs 231 lbs. How many grams of protein should the nurse instruct the patient to ingest each day?
 
  Calculate to the nearest whole number.

Question 2

The nurse is reviewing the anatomy of the heart with a patient scheduled for a cardiac catheterization. What should the nurse explain as the primary factor that regulates blood flow through the coronary arteries?
 
  1. blood pressure in the aorta
  2. blood vessel dilation
  3. low-pressure systemic circulation
  4. draining of blood into the coronary sinus by the coronary veins

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 79 grams
To calculate this patient's weight in kg, divide the weight in lbs. by 2.2 or 231/2.2 = 105 kg. Then multiply the prescribed amount of protein by the weight in kg or 0.75 grams  105 = 78.75 grams. When rounded, the patient should be instructed to ingest 79 grams of protein each day.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Blood flow through the coronary arteries is primarily regulated by the aortic blood pressure. Blood vessel dilation is a secondary factor that regulates blood flow through the coronary arteries. The systemic circulation is a high-pressure circulation system. Draining of blood into the coronary sinus by the coronary veins does not regulate blood flow through the coronary arteries.
