Using the KDOQI adult guidelines for peritoneal dialysis patients, determine Mrs. Caldwell's nutrition prescription for outpatient use. (Include energy, protein, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, and fluid.)
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

Nutrition Therapy for PD Mrs. Caldwell
35 kcal/kg adjusted body weight or SBW ABW: 70.75 kg
2476 (- 510 kcal from dialysate) = 1950-2000 kcal SBW: 61 kg
2135 kcal (- 510 kcal from dialysate) = 1625-1650 kcal
1.2-1.3 g protein/kg adjusted body weight or SBW 85-92 g 73-79 g
2-4 g K (adjust by serum levels) 2-4 g K (adjust by serum levels)
800-1000 mg phosphorus 800-1000 mg phosphorus
2-3 g Na 2-3 g Na
Fluid  not restricted (maintain balance) Fluid  not restricted (maintain balance)

Answer to Question 2

 Blood pressure is the measure of resistance of blood flow against the walls of the arterial vessels and is measured using a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer.
 The sphygmomanometer is inflated to a pressure greater than arterial pressure during systole, completely obstructing blood flow.
 As pressure is released from the sphygmomanometer, blood pressure falls to the systolic pressure, resulting in the first sound heard through the stethoscope.
 When this sound (a distinct beat) first disappears, this is the diastolic pressure.
 Units of pressure are usually in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
