Answer :
We get 9.6,so the patient will need 10 bags of TPN for the entire week.
To find out how many 2-liter bags of TPN must be sent for the entire week, we need to calculate the total volume needed for each day and then sum it up for the week. Let's break it down step-by-step:
Day 1: TPN at 75 mL/hr for 24 hours.
Total volume for Day 1:
[tex]75 \text{ mL/hr} \times 24 \text{ hr} = 1800 \text{ mL}[/tex]Day 2: TPN at 100 mL/hr for 24 hours.
Total volume for Day 2:
[tex]100 \text{ mL/hr} \times 24 \text{ hr} = 2400 \text{ mL}[/tex]Days 3 to 7: TPN at 125 mL/hr for 24 hours each day. There are 5 days from Day 3 to Day 7.
Total volume for each day (days 3 to 7):
[tex]125 \text{ mL/hr} \times 24 \text{ hr} = 3000 \text{ mL}[/tex]Total volume for Days 3 to 7:
[tex]3000 \text{ mL/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 15000 \text{ mL}[/tex]Summing up the volumes:
Total volume for the entire week:
[tex]1800 \text{ mL} + 2400 \text{ mL} + 15000 \text{ mL} = 19200 \text{ mL}[/tex]Calculating the number of 2-liter bags needed:
Since each 2-liter bag (2000 mL) lasts for 24 hours, we divide the total volume by 2000 mL.
Number of bags required:
[tex]\frac{19200 \text{ mL}}{2000 \text{ mL/bag}} = 9.6 \text{ bags}[/tex]
