Answer to Question 1

The stress of surgery will cause a change in BEE, insulin utilization, lipid utilization, and possible fluid shifts. This would make it impractical, if not impossible, to monitor and control TPN during surgery. However, if TPN were stopped completely without providing a source of glucose, the blood glucose level could drop very low; therefore, D10W was hung.

Answer to Question 2

BEE = 66 + 13.7  wt + 5  ht - 6.8  age
= 66 + 13.7  76.4 + 5  177.8  6.8  58
= 66 + 1047 + 889  394
= 2029  394
= 1635

Using a stress factor of 1.4: 1635  1.4 = 2289

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
