Answer to Question 1

Height: 6'3 (190.5 cm), weight: 156 (70.9 kg), UBW: 220
BMI = 70.9 kg / 1.905 m2 = 19.5 kg/m2 (BMI 18.5-24.9 considered normal weight; however, his BMI has decreased from 27.5 to 19.5 in 1-2 years, which is a significant decrease, and he is nearing underweight BMI status)
UBW = 156 / 220 x 100 = 70.9 UBW (severe unintended weight loss in 1-2 years)

Answer to Question 2

Ensure Complete is a 1.5 kcal/mL high-calorie, high-protein beverage supplement. It contains 350 kcal, 11 g fat, 51 g carbohydrate, and 13 g protein per 8-oz serving. It is a good source of 24 essential vitamins and minerals (948 mL/ 1422 kcal needed to meet 100 of RDIs). Additionally, it provides prebiotics and 610-650 mg of Alpha linoleic acid (ALA) per 8 oz. Ensure Complete is kosher, halal, and gluten free. It is okay to use in patients who are lactose intolerant but contraindicated in patients with galactosemia.
Additional option examples: Whole milk milkshake (can add peanut butter, dry skim milk powder, etc. to increase protein and calories), Resource 2.0 (2.0 kcal/mL, 21 g protein/ 8 fl oz supplement), Resource Shake (2.0 kcal/mL, 15 g protein/ 8 fl oz supplement), Carnation Instant Breakfast (260 kcal/ 14 g protein per bottle, or use mix)
