Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: According to the American Heart Association, intake of saturated fats should be limited to less than 10 of total caloric intake. The calculation for this client is: 10 x total calories / 9 cal/gm (0.10 x 2000/9 = 22.2).

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Immediate postop diet is high in protein and calories to promote healing. They will gradually decrease to levels lower than during dialysis (protein down to 1 g/k/day and calories down to 2530 cal/k/day).
