What relationship does CO2 have with ICP and feeding rate?

Question 2

What is the relationship between blood pressure and dietary sodium? Do you think Mr. F needs a 2 g sodium restriction? Explain.

Answer to Question 1

An increase in CO2 causes an increase in ICP. An increase in food causes an increase in CO2.

Answer to Question 2

Sodium that is retained in the body and not excreted in a normal fashion causes an accumulation of body water or edema. Some people are considered to be salt sensitive and, even with normal sodium excretion, tend to retain fluid and need to have sodium restricted. A normal sodium recommendation is 2.4 g/d; thus, a 2 g Na diet is not that much of a restriction and is what is typically used.
