Answer to Question 1

Sodium: tomato bisque soup, saltines, chicken and potato with added salt, ranch dressing, popcorn, donut
Saturated fat: margarine with oatmeal; donut; chicken; buttered potato, carrots, and popcorn
Mrs. Moore's diet is high in fats, processed foods, sodium, and meats, while low in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, and nuts/seeds/legumes in comparison to the DASH diet.

Answer to Question 2

When enteral access is available, recommend starting Nepro in order to meet kcalorie and protein needs. In order to avoid electrolyte imbalances, start very slowly at 10 mL/hr and advance by 10 mL q 6 hours/as tolerated to goal rate of 70 mL/hr (based on 22 hours per day to account for interruptions in the ICU). This will provide 1540 ml, 2772 kcal, 125 grams protein, and 1120 mL free water (33 kcal/kg, 1.5 g protein/kg). Provide approximately 1652 mL free water via maintenance IV or divided flushes.
