Calculation of Carbohydrates in TPN

A patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) is receiving Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) due to gastrointestinal complications. The TPN solution is ordered to provide 2,500 kcal per day, with a macronutrient composition of 60% carbohydrates, 25% fats, and 15% proteins. Each gram of carbohydrates provides 4 kcal, each gram of protein provides 4 kcal, and each gram of fat provides 9 kcal.

To ensure safe administration and adequate nutritional support, the healthcare team must calculate the daily grams of each macronutrient to be infused.

Complete the following statement: The patient will receive a total of ____ grams of carbohydrates per day through TPN.
