What Nursing Assistants and Orderlies Do. Nursing assistants, sometimes called nursing aides, help provide basic care for patients in hospitals and residents of long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes. Orderlies transport patients and clean treatment areas.
Hereâs a good basic target for adults up to age 65: A 120-pound person should aim for at least 48 grams of protein daily; a 180-pound person should aim for at least 72 grams of protein daily. Protein intake for adults over 65 is slightly higher.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum of 0.45 grams of protein per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of ideal body weight per day. The US RDA sets a maximum protein recommendation for the average person at 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of ideal body weight per day.etric: (Your ideal weight in kilograms) X 0.8 = Your recommended daily protein intake in grams. English: (Your ideal weight in pounds) x .36 = Your recommended daily protein intake in grams. For example, my ideal body weight is 110 pounds.
