Explanation / Answer

A, fibersource HN

Jevity 1.5

These formulas perfect for tube feeding patient with abnormal bowel function, neurological impairment or developmentally disabled may be used for long-term feeding..

B, calorie requirement : 1850-2000(kcal/ day)

Fluid 2000/ day

2000 kcal/ day/24 hours/ day = 83ml/ hr

83ml/ hr X 24h/ day = 1992ml/ day

C, energy ( kcal) = 1799 kcal/ day

Protein. = 59-74 grams/ day

But estimated daily needs protein is 74-89 grams/ day

Free water =2520ml

Mr.O protein intake is less.so it should be increased to meet the fluid needs.. increase the protein source like formula milk,and supplemental protein mixes..
