Answer to Question 1

 Major nutrient and metabolic changes that can occur during an AKI include a rapid decrease in urine output, which can lead to acidosis, electrolyte imbalances (hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia), fluid disturbances, impaired glucose utilization, protein catabolism, and accumulation of metabolic waste products.
 Energy: 25-35 kcal/kg based on the stress and normal nutrition status of the patient before the injury (if the patient was malnourished beforehand, he would have higher energy needs than this)
 Impaired glucose utilization and protein catabolism from uremia
Protein needs range from 0.8 to 2.0 g/kg/d
non-catabolic, not dialyzed: 0.8-1.0 g/kg/d
on renal replacement therapy: 1.0-1.5 g/kg/d
hypercatabolic, receiving CRRT: up to 2.0 g/kg/d
Hyperglycemia may arise due to calories from CRRT and response to metabolic stress
 Insulin may be needed due to insulin resistance resulting from AKI
 Serum TG should be within normal range if started on enteral or parenteral nutrition because a high TG value may indicate a reduced hepatic capacity for removal of long-chain and medium-chain fatty acids; if TG are high at first, these levels will need to be monitored closely for tolerance.

Answer to Question 2

 Lifestyle modifications
- Wt reduction
- DASH eating plan
- Physical activity
- Moderation of alcohol consumption
 Pharmacologic
- ACEIs (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors)
- ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers)
- BBs (beta blockers)
- CCBs (calcium channel blockers)
- Thiazide-type diuretics
 Smoking cessation
 Wt. loss

Adult head lice are gray, about ? inch long, and often have a tiny dot on their backs. A female can lay between 50 and 150 eggs within the several weeks that she is alive. They feed on human blood.

Did you know?

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

Did you know?

Many of the drugs used by neuroscientists are derived from toxic plants and venomous animals (such as snakes, spiders, snails, and puffer fish).

Did you know?

The first war in which wide-scale use of anesthetics occurred was the Civil War, and 80% of all wounds were in the extremities.
