Question 4

Case Study 
Caroline is a 33-year-old female who was struck by a motor vehicle while she was bicycling.She suffered head and chest trauma as well as multiple broken bones.Caroline is in a medically induced coma in the ICU unit following surgery and requires mechanical ventilation due to ARDS.She is being fed enterally.Her mother reports that she is 5'7" tall and weighs approximately 140 pounds.
-a.Estimate Caroline's energy needs using the Ireton-Jones equation:
1925 + [5 × wt (kg)] - [10 × age (yr)] + (281 × sex) + (292 × trauma) + (851 × burn).
You must insert the appropriate numbers for gender and trauma.
b.Estimate Caroline's protein needs based on mild to moderation lung injury.

Accepted Answer

a.Energy needs (kcal/day) = 1925 + [5 ×
