Answer to Question 1

With ESRD urine is not being made and therefore protein is not being lost via urine. Hemodialysis is a catabolic process and increases the need for protein. Therefore, dietary protein is increased with the assumption that dialysis will filter out the resulting waste products.

Answer to Question 2

60 mEq K  atomic wt/valence = mg 60  39/1 = 2340 mg
