Answer to Question 1

 Sodium (low): Edema; decreased elimination of fluids (hemodilution)
 Potassium (high): Retaining K, decreased elimination
 PO4 (high): Retention and release of P from bone breakdown
 Total CO2 (high): Acidosis (from decreased ability to excrete H+) increased oxidation of branched-chain amino acids, increased protein degradation and PNA, and decreased albumin synthesis
 Albumin (low): Edema malnutrition
 Protein (low): Edema, malnutrition
 BUN (high): Retention
 Creatinine (high): Retention
 Calcium (low): Decreased active vitamin D/edema
 RBC, Hgb, Hct (low): inadequate EPO production
 Protein, glucose, and ketones in the urine (high): damaged glomeruli (protein, glucose) and malnutrition (ketones)

Answer to Question 2

 BMI = 703 x 410 lbs/70 in./70 in.= 59
  UBW = (410 lbs/434 lbs) x 100 = 95 UBW
 A reasonable weight goal would be to lose 30-35 of body weight within 1-2 years post-op.
0.3 x 410 = 123 lbs, 410-123 lbs = 287 lbs.
0.35 x 410 = 143.5 lbs., 410-143.5 = 266.5 lbs.
Therefore, since research shows that most patients lose about 30-35 of their weight, it would be reasonable for Mr. McKinley to lose between 123 and 144 lbs. within the first two years.
 Studies demonstrate that 60 of patients typically maintain weight once weight is lost post-surgery.
 Another goal would be to get Mr. McKinley's BMI below 30, since evidence shows a significant reduction in the risk for co-morbidities associated with obesity when BMI is less than 30 . This is equivalent to a goal weight <209 lbs.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera).

Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
