How to calculate calorie needs for bedridden pt with only the condition and age given?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Age, sex, activity: Calorie requirements are calculated based on the age, male or female and the activity level. For a bedridden person use the sedentary calorie. Since everyone's metabolism is different monitor weight and adjust as necessary.
