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.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
