Answer to Question 1

ANS:
280 mL
The nurse never adds more than 4 hours' worth of formula to a hanging bag of enteral feedings. 70 mL/hr  4 hr = 280 mL.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
1700 calories/day
To encourage a weight loss of 1 pound (2.2 kg) a week, 500 calories per day would be subtracted. To encourage a weight loss of 2 pounds (4.4 kg) a week, 1000 calories each day are subtracted. In this scenario, to lose 1.5 pounds a week the client needs to cut 750 calories per day from the diet: 2450 - 750 = 1700 calories.
