Answer to Question 1

The protein requirement increase was partially explained in question

Answer to Question 2

Mr. G originally weighed 225 lbs, lost 10 lbs to 215, and after dialysis weighed 210 lbs. To determine his BEE, I would use his IBW (IBW could be replaced with RBW or both could be calculated) and create an adjusted weight using 210 lbs as his overweight value. Also, in Part I of the case study, Mr. G was 45 years old. It is now 2 + years later as stated in Part II.

Adjusted body wt = (actual body wt - IBW)  0.25 + IBW
= (210 - 166)  0.25 + 166 = 177 lbs = 80.5 kg

BEE = 66 + (13.7  80.5) + (5  177.8) - (6.8  47) = 66 + 1102.8 + 889 - 319.6
= 1738 kcals 1738  1.5 = 2607 kcals

Answer to Question 3

Wet weight is the weight of the patient prior to dialysis while dry weight is the weight of the patient after dialysis.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
