A. Adult men are advised to consume 35 mcg/d of chromium. there is not enough research to make a more definitive recommendation, but this amount appears to maintain nutritional health.

B. The average energy intake for a male aged 9 to 13 years of age is estimated to be 2279 kcal per day.

C. Nonpregnanant females ages 14 to 18 years of age are advised to have 60mg of vitamin C per day. This amount meets the vitamin C need for -97% of this age and sex.

D. reducing sodium to under 2300 mg per day is associated with reducing cardiovascular disease risk.

E. One piece of whole wheat bread provides 3 grams of dietary fiber. this is -11% of the amount of daily fiber needed by a healthy adult.

F. Adults are advised to limit intake of synthetic folate to 1000mcg per day out of concern that higher amounts could mask symptoms of vitamin B-12 deficiency?

The patient, Mrs. Z., is a sixty-year-old woman who received a kidney transplant approximately one year earlier. Her current hospitalization is for a urinary tract infection and dehydration. She had a similar hospitalization three months ago. She is characterized in the medical record as “non-compliant” with her medicines, and she does not drink enough fluids to maintain her hydration. In order to treat her infection and to rehydrate her, the hospital staff would like to place a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line and also additional IV lines. These would need to remain in place for several days. The patient refuses the placement.

            The ethics consultant interviewed Mrs. Z and found her very difficult to engage in any sustained conversation. Mrs. Z would only offer that she “didn’t want any tubes” and that the reason was because “they hurt.” She repeated this line over and over when questioned. When asked whether she understood that these interventions might help her get better and that a lack of treatment could lead to her getting worse, she would say, “I don’t want to talk about that.” She would repeat these sentences or something similar in response to virtually any questions.

            She has a husband, whom she married about five years ago, and who is currently in a rehabilitation facility after suffering a stroke. He has difficulty speaking, but when contacted by telephone, he said that he thought, “everything should be done.” Hospital staff also contacted her twenty-four-year-old son, who is going to school in another state and was her kidney donor. He says his mother’s mental status has never been completely right since the transplant and deteriorates significantly when she gets an infection and is dehydrated. He says that she has been negative about treatment since the transplant but would likely have wanted this care if she were her “old self”. Armed with this information, the ethics consultant asked Mrs. Z if she could say how her son felt about her decisions or why he thinks she should agree to the PICC line and IV line placements. In response, she would turn away in bed and sometimes cover her head with the sheet.

Questions:

1. Do you think Mrs. Z has the capacity to make decisions about her care? Why or why not?
2. If Mrs. Z does not have decision-making capacity, who is the more appropriate surrogate decision-maker; her husband or her son? Specifically, what effect on being able to act as the surrogate decision-maker is created by either the husband’s stroke or the fact that the son is the donor of Mrs. Z.’s kidney?
3. Can a surrogate consent to restraining the patient to treat her?
4. Should Mrs. Z receive treatment for her dehydration and infection despite refusing this care?
5. If Mrs. Z is treated despite her refusal, would you characterize this as “weak” paternalism or “strong” paternalism?

Your patient is a 69-year-old male who was admitted to the medical unit from his cardiologist’s office for heart failure exacerbation.

2. What are your primary concerns for this patient, what assessments and interventions would be associated with your concerns, and why?

3. What do you anticipate the patient’s home medications prior to admission might be and why?

4. What medications do you anticipate the health care provider would prescribe while the patient is in the hospital and why?

1. Recall the nurse-scheduling problem (with full-time nurses only) introduced in class. We now know that this staffing plan cannot be achieved with fewer than 8 nurses. However, nurses prefer to work tour 7 because the days off are Saturday and Sunday. Nurses also like tours 1 and 6 because one day off is a Saturday or Sunday, respectively. Reformulate the problem so that it uses exactly 8 nurses but the number of nurses assigned to tours 1, 6 and 7 is maximized while meeting minimum daily staffing needs. How did you reformulate the decision variables, objective function and constraints?
