Answer to Question 1

 Potential etiologies: obesity, insulin resistance (T2DM), cystic fibrosis, metabolic syndrome, parenteral nutrition, medications (e.g. amiodarone, tamoxifen, corticosteroids), pancreatic-duodenal resection, hypopituitarism, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism ,and iatrogenic contributions
 Genetic contributions: cystic fibrosis, patatin-like phospholipase 3 gene (associated with inflammation)

Answer to Question 2

Nutrition Problem Nutrition Diagnosis
1 . Increased energy and protein requirements associated with sepsis Increased protein needs
2 . Poor oral intake of nutrients over the past four months r/t recent bypass surgery Inadequate oral intake
3 . Depletion of lean body mass d/t sepsis and inability to take in enough protein on a regular diet Malnutrition
4 . Recent Roux-en-Y bypass surgery, restrictive and malabsorptive digestion Altered GI function
5 . Reduced absorptive surface secondary to bariatric surgery Predicted suboptimal vitamin/mineral intake

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

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).
