Adequate Intake (AI) for total water For men age 19 to older than 70 years
3.7 L/day
includes 3 L as fluids
Adequate Intake (AI) for total water For WOMEN age 19 to older than 70 years
2.7 L,
Including 2.2 L from fluids
give 2 methods of estimating fluid needs by multiplying
30 mL/kg body weight
1 mL/cal consumed
SOLVE using 30ml/kg body weight
70-kg person needs how many mL per day?
2100 mL/day.
70 kg X 30 mL/kg =2100 mL/d
SOLVE using 1 mL/cal consumed
a person consuming 2000 cal/day needs how many mL per day?
2000 mL/day.
2000 cal/day x 1 mL/cal =2000 mL/day
give 1 other method of estimating fluid needs
Provide 1500 mL for the first 20 kg of weight and 15 mL/kg for each remaining kg
Solve using Provide 1500 mL for the first 20 kg of weight and 15 mL/kg for each remaining kg
: A 70-kg person needs how many ml per day?
2250 mL/day
1500 mL for the first 20 kg + 15 X 50 remaining kg
