Question 2

Correct Answer:

A 2000-mg sodium diet is a standard initial recommendation for individuals with HF. Adjustments to levels of 2000 mg, 1000 mg, or 500 mg may be prescribed depending on the patient's individual medical condition-specifically, fluid and volume states as well as overall oral intake. Energy needs should be determined by indirect calorimetry. Daily protein intake should be 1.13 g/kg of body weight for patients in a nourished state or 1.37 g/kg for those in a stable malnourished state. Fluid requirements are typically calculated at 1mL/kcal or 35 mL/kg. For HF, fluid is restricted to less than 2000 mL/day for a serum sodium below 130 mEq/L. The use of multiple diuretics in the medical treatment of HF may lead to losses of multiple water-soluble nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, and vitamin B12.
