Answer to Question 1

Pivot  25 mL/hr = 900 kcal and 56 g protein. At initial rate of 25 mL/hr, the patient's needs are not met.
Goal = 54 mL/hr, which provides 1944 kcal and 122 g protein

Answer to Question 2

 Mrs. Hoffman has a low albumin, prealbumin, total protein, RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit.
 Her CO2, HCO3-,WBC,  Lymph and Segs are elevated
 Additionally, her O2 is low - due to COPD and dysfunctional respiratory status
 Albumin and total protein can be assessed as a measurement of chronic visceral protein status when there is no inflammation present.
 The elevated CO2 and HCO3- levels are related to her compensated (low end of normal pH) respiratory acidosis.
 The elevated WBC, Lymph, and Segs are related to her upper respiratory infection.

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.
