Answer E AnswerE::5600 kcal
Answer E Explanation [[AnswerEExp::This is the correct caloric intake per day of the patient.

Caloric intake/day (kcal) = (250x4) + (700x4) + (200x9) = (1000 + 2800 + 1800) = 5600 kcal.]]

Right Answer RightAnswer::E
Explanation [[Explanation::The patient's caloric intake must be calculated based on knowledge of the following:

1 gram of protein = 4 kcal 1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 kcal 1 gram of fat = 9 kcal.

Accordingly, the following equation may be calculated: (250x4) + (700x4) + (200x9) = (1000 + 2800 + 1800) = 5600 kcal.

Educational Objective: 1 gram of protein = 4 kcal 1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 kcal 1 gram of fat = 9 kcal
