A Patient's Temperature Has Been 101° F (38

question 1

Short Answer

A patient's temperature has been 101° F (38.3° C) for several days. The patient's normal caloric intake to meet nutritional needs is 2000 calories per day. Knowing that the metabolic rate increases 7% for each Fahrenheit degree above 100° in body temperature, calculate the total calories the patient should receive each day. ____________________
