Mr. Walker was started on Pivot 1.5  50 mL/hr. How much energy and protein will this provide? Does it meet his estimated protein and energy needs that you determined in question 8?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

The MD has prescribed omeprazole. What class of medication is this? What is the basic mechanism of the drug? What other drugs are available in this class? What other groups of medications are used to treat GERD?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

50 mL/hr x 24 hr = 1200 mL/day
1200 mL/day x 1.5 kcal/mL = 1800 kcal/day
1200 mL/day x 93.8 g pro/1000mL = 169 g protein/day

Propofol (8.2 mL/hr) x 24 hr x 1.1 kcal/mL = 216 kcal
1800 + 216 mL = 2016 kcal

This rate of infusion of Pivot 1.5 for nutrition support only provides74 of his energy needs, but exceeds his protein needs (13 g/day more than upper limit of estimated needs).

Answer to Question 2

 Omeprazole is an acid pump or proton pump inhibitor.
 These drugs interrupt the action of the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme, which moves hydronium ions across parietal cell membranes in exchange for potassium ions, resulting in an inhibition of the secretion of HCl.
 Other proton pump inhibitors include lansoprazole, esomeprazole, and pantoprazole.
 Other drugs used to treat GERD include antacids, histamine-2 receptor antagonists, foaming agents, and prokinetic medications that increase gastric motility.

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).
