Answer to Question 1

For the critically ill, mechanically ventilated patient, the Penn State equation would be most appropriate. Since Mr. Campbell is not mechanically ventilated, it is best to use a 25-35 kcal/kg American Chest Physician's nomogram.
25-35 kcal/kg: (25 x 70.9 kg) to (35 x 70.9 kg) = 1773-2482 kcal per day (approx. 1800-2400 kcal/day)
The Harris-Benedict with or without stress factors, Ireton-Jones, Fick, or Mifflin-St Jeor equations are NOT recommended for use with non-obese critically ill patients.
Estimated protein requirements in non-obese critically ill: 1.2-1.75 g/kg/day: (1.2 x 70.9) to (1.75 x 70.9) = 85-124 g protein per day

Answer to Question 2

The loss of the kidney's ability to synthesize erythropoietin decreases red blood cell production. The K/DOQI anemia guidelines recommend administration of rHuEPO. Additionally, oral and intravenous iron supplementation can be prescribed.
