Case Study:
Chloe is a 21 year old, female student athlete. She is
5’7” and weighs 130 pounds. Chloe is on the college cross-country
team. She tries to eat plenty of grains and fruits to get the
carbohydrates needed for her high level of physical activity. She
eats 3 meals a day and a snack in the evenings. Chloe is a fairly
strict vegetarian, typically including foods consistent with a
lactovegetarian or lacto-ovo-vegetarian depending on the season and
her current mood. She also avoids alcohol and various forms of
tobacco.
Diet analysis revealed Chloe’s caloric intake for
three days was 6500 calories (approximately 2200 kcal per day) and
she's maintaining her current body weight. She averages 330 grams
of carbohydrate, 61 grams of fat, and 83 grams of protein per day,
according to her diet record. Her vitamin B12 intake averaged 0.24
μg/day (recommendation for B12 is 2.4 μg/day). A typical day for
Chloe would include eating cheese sticks and a glass of orange
juice for breakfast; a slice of bread with peanut butter, apple,
bag of pretzels, and raspberry iced tea for lunch; spaghetti with
marinara sauce, garlic bread, salad, and a glass of milk for
dinner; and an orange for an evening snack. This semester, Chloe
feels tired more often and almost always has to take a sweatshirt
to class to keep warm. Chloe is also unable to concentrate
well.
1) Based on her BMI and body composition, how would
you classify her weight? Are you able to make the same
classification based on each or do they differ?
2) After reviewing Chloe’s typical dietary intake and
her symptoms [fatigue/inability to concentrate/difficulty
regulating body temperature], what nutrient
(commonly deficient in female athletes) do you think she is
lacking? List 5 specific dietary changes or substitutions you would
suggest for her to improve her intake of this nutrient.
3) Since Chloe is a collegiate level athlete, we can
assume her activity level is “very active”. What is her
EER?

large, private, 600-bed hospital with laboratories, operating rooms, and x-ray equipment is seeking to increase revenues The administration has decided to make a 90-bed addition on a portion of adjacent land currently used for staff parking. The administrators feel that the labs, operating rooms, and x-ray department are not being fully utilized at present and do not need to be expanded to handle additional patients. The addition of 90 beds, however, involves deciding how many beds should be allocated to the medical staff for medical patients and how many to the surgical staff for surgical patients.
The hospital’s accounting medical records departments have provided the following pertinent information. The average hospital stay for a medical patient is 8 days and the average medical patient generates $2,280 in revenues. The average surgical patient is in the hospital 5 days and receives a $1,515 bill
The laboratory is capable of handling 15,000 tests per year more than it was handling. The average medical patient requires 3.1 lab tests and the average surgical patient takes 2.6 lab tests. Furthermore, the average medical patient uses one x-ray, while the average surgical patient requires two x-rays.
If the hospital was expanded by 90 beds, the x-ray department could handle up to 7,000 x-rays without significant additional cost. Finally, the administration estimates that up to 2,800 additional operations could be performed in existing operating room facilities. Medical patients, of course, require no surgery, while each surgical patient generally has one surgery performed.
Formulate this problem so as to determine how many medical beds and how many maximize a year. Then solve the problem.
