Answer to Question 1

The protein requirement increase was partially explained in question

Answer to Question 2

Mr. G originally weighed 225 lbs, lost 10 lbs to 215, and after dialysis weighed 210 lbs. To determine his BEE, I would use his IBW (IBW could be replaced with RBW or both could be calculated) and create an adjusted weight using 210 lbs as his overweight value. Also, in Part I of the case study, Mr. G was 45 years old. It is now 2 + years later as stated in Part II.

Adjusted body wt = (actual body wt - IBW)  0.25 + IBW
= (210 - 166)  0.25 + 166 = 177 lbs = 80.5 kg

BEE = 66 + (13.7  80.5) + (5  177.8) - (6.8  47) = 66 + 1102.8 + 889 - 319.6
= 1738 kcals 1738  1.5 = 2607 kcals

Answer to Question 3

Wet weight is the weight of the patient prior to dialysis while dry weight is the weight of the patient after dialysis.

To maintain good kidney function, you should drink at least 3 quarts of water daily. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of salts and minerals that can lead to kidney stone formation. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to the development of kidney stones.

Long-term mental and physical effects from substance abuse include: paranoia, psychosis, immune deficiencies, and organ damage.

Did you know?

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
