Answer to Question 1

 As part of most gastric enteral feeding protocols, gastric residuals are aspirated periodically to ensure appropriate gastric emptying and decrease risk of aspiration of gastric contents.
 There is some disagreement regarding efficacy of this practice. This is because it is difficult to distinguish the enteral feeding formula from other gastric secretions when residuals are taken. In most stable, long-term patients this practice is not necessary.
 High gastric residual volume is often defined as 500 mL, although there is no definitive definition.
 In critically ill patients such as Mr. H, gastric residuals should be checked every four hours.
 Additionally, if > 250 mL is present after two GRV checks, a promotility agent should be considered.
 Probable causes for Mr. Hayato's high GRV are gastroparesis and/or position.

Answer to Question 2

No, adherence to a gluten-free dietary pattern may result in a diet low in:
 Carbohydrates
 Iron
 Folate
 Niacin
 Zinc
 Fiber
 B12
 Calcium
 Phosphorus

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).
