Answer to Question 1

30 cc/h  24 hr = 720  2 for half strength = 360 cc

360  L.5 kcals/cc = 540 kcals
360 = .36 L  54.9 g/L = 19.8 g protein

50 cc/h  24 = 1200 cc
1200  1.5 kcals/cc = 1800 kcals
1.2 L  54.9 g/L = 66 g protein

Answer to Question 2

An extremely reliable test for confirming a Dx of CF is the quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis sweat test. False negatives are possible but rare1 . The test is conducted by placing two electrodes on a test area of the body and the iontophoresis unit is turned on for 10 to 12 mins. The electrodes are removed and paraffin covered paper disks are placed over the test site. After an hour, the paraffin is removed and the paper disks are analyzed for Na and Cl. Results of >90 mEq/l Na and >60 mEq/l of Cl suggest CF.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
