NUTRITION ASSESSMENT
Adm. Diagnosis: Wt loss, dehydration, high ostomy output
PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT
Notes on Physical Assessment: n/a
Fluid:
1. Determine your actual fluid provision by dividing your fluid goal by 24 hrs (since your PN will run
for 24 hrs at a time). Round the result to the nearest mL. This result x 24 hrs/d will be your new
total fluid needs for the rest of your calculations.
Fat (Intralipid):
2. Determine fat calories by multiplying total kcals x % of kcals from fat. % kcals from fat are
usually about 20-30%. Round to the nearest kcal.
3. Determine the mLs/d of intralipid (IL) by dividing the kcals from fat by the kcals/mL of the IL
solution. 1.1kcal/mL for 10%, 2kcal/mL for 20%, 3kcal/mL for 30%. Round to the nearest mL.
4. Determine the hourly rate of your IL by dividing your mL of IL/d by 24 hours. Round to the
nearest whole number.
5. Calculate the exact kcals being provided from IL by multiplying your hourly rate of IL x 24 hrs x
kcal/mL of the IL solution.
7. Determine the exact number of g of protein you will give by multiplying your %AA by your PN
volume.
8. Determine the exact kcals from protein by multiplying the g/d by 4kcal/g.
2124 total kcals 576 IL kcals 308 pro kcals= 1239 kcals from
dextrose/d
10. Determine the number of g of dextrose per day by dividing the kcals from dextrose by 3.4 kcal/g.
Round to the nearest whole number.
11. Determine % dextrose needed in the solution by dividing the g of dextrose by the solution
volume. Round to the nearest one decimal place.
364.4 g dex/d / 2400 total PN (mL) = 15.2 % dex for the solution
12. Determine the actual g of dex provided in the solution by multiplying the % dex by the total
volume. Round to the nearest one decimal place.
13. Determine the exact kcals from dextrose by multiplying g/d by 3.4kcal/g.
Total Calories:
15. Add the kcals from IL, pro, and dex to determine total kcals.
16. Determine the macronutrient distribution by dividing kcals from IL by total kcals (and following
the same process for kcals from pro and kcals from dex).
Total Regimen:
17. Your completed PN regimen should be written as follows:
The above regimen gives 58.4 % of kcals from CHO, 14.5 % kcals from pro, and
27.1 % of kcals from fat.
