Answer to Question 1

The kcals should be about the same, more if he can tolerate them to gain wt. Assume a kcal intake of 2500
Protein will vary according to his degree of recovery; 0.8 - 1.0 g/kg may be his tolerance level. 1.0 g/kg = 68 g. 68  4 = 272 kcals or 272/2500 = 10.8

The protein would be increased as tolerated. Fat as tolerated. Initially try 30 and gradually increase to 40 if tolerated. 40 of 2500 = 1000 kcals; 1000/9 = 111 g of fat.

With 1000 kcals coming from fat, and 272 from protein, this is 1272 kcals and leaves 1228 to come from CHO. 1228/2500 = 49 or 1228/4 = 307 g.

Fluid as tolerated, probably between 1 and 1.5 L. Na would be between 1 and 2 g. A good vitamin and mineral supplement per day would be in order.

Answer to Question 2

furosemide (Lasix): inhibits reabsorption of sodium and chloride at the proximal portion of the ascending loop of Henle. Possible nutritional complications include abdominal discomfort and pain, diarrhea (with oral solutions). Hypokalemia, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hyperglycemia and impairment of glucose tolerance, dehydration.
