Calculate the daily grams of nitrogen that LB will be receiving from the parenteral nutrition.

(Answer must be numeric; no units or commas; round the final answer to the nearest WHOLE number)

2-in-1 Parenteral Nutrition Order:
- Dextrose: 370 grams
- Amino acids: 105 grams
- Sodium chloride: 32 mEq
- Sodium acetate: 12 mEq
- Potassium: 65 mEq
- Magnesium sulfate: 10 mEq
- Phosphate: 24 mmol
- Calcium: 12 mEq
- Multivitamins (MVI): 10 mL
- Trace elements: 1 mL
- Famotidine: 10 mg

Sterile water qs ad 2000 mL

LB will be receiving 17 grams of nitrogen daily from the parenteral nutrition, which contains 105 grams of amino acids, since amino acids are composed of approximately 16% nitrogen by weight.

Explanation:

To calculate the daily grams of nitrogen that LB will be receiving from the parenteral nutrition, we need to find the amount of amino acids provided in the parenteral nutrition solution. From the given information, we know that there are 105 grams of amino acids in the solution.

Therefore:

105 grams of amino acids × 0.16 (16% nitrogen) = 16.8 grams of nitrogen

Round this to the nearest whole number, and LB will be receiving 17 grams of nitrogen daily from the parenteral nutrition.
