ATI LPN Adult Medical Surgical 2023 ( 84 Questions)
Question 1 of 84 :
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who wants to lose 0.9 kg (2 lb) of body fat per week.
The nurse knows that 0.45 kg (1 lb) of body fat is equal to 3,500 calories.
The nurse should instruct the client to reduce his daily caloric intake by how many calories?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 1000
Step 1: Calculate the total caloric reduction needed per week to lose 0.9 kg (2 lb). 2 lb × 3,500 calories/lb = 7,000 calories.
Step 2: Divide the total weekly caloric reduction by the number of days in a week. 7,000 calories ÷ 7 days = 1,000 calories/day.
Final answer: 1,000.
