Answer to Question 1

AM: Egg McMuffin, 6 oz orange juice, coffee
Lunch: Cheeseburger, fries, apple pie, and 12 oz Coke
Dinner: Roast beef au jus; 3 small oven-browned potatoes, 1/4 c broccoli, iced tea, roll with butter
kcal: 2270 kcal
95 g protein
3004 mg sodium
565 mg calcium
3798 mg potassium
1244 mg phosphorous
This is higher than her prescribed energy needs and high in phosphorous and potassium.

Answer to Question 2

Estimated using USDA SuperTracker (http://www.choosemyplate.gov/supertracker-tools/supertracker.html):
Breakfast: 1 boiled egg: 77 kcal, 6 g protein; coffee: 2 kcal; few bites toast: 57 kcal, 3 g protein
Lunch: 1 cup chicken noodle soup: 63 kcal, 3 g protein; 1 cup low-fat (1) milk: 102 kcal, 8 g protein
Dinner: few bites ground meat: 104 kcal, 11 g protein; few bites mashed potatoes: 56 kcal, 1 g protein
Snacks: 1 can Ensure Plus: 355 kcal, 13 g protein
Total: 816 kcal, 45 g protein
Estimated requirements: 1800-2400 kcal, 85-124 g protein. This is approximately 984-1584 kcal short of needs and 40-79 g protein short of needs. This represents a 34-45 intake of energy needs for several months, which is consistent with severe chronic malnutrition in adults (<75 for more than 1 month). Thus, evaluating dietary intake can be supportive of a diagnosis for malnutrition.

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.
