a. Which IBW is the highest for the following equations: Robinson, Miller, Devine, or
Hamwi? Which is the lowest? Are they all within the range provided by the healthy BMI
recommendation after adjusting for frame size?
a. Highest: Miller
b. Lowest: Hamwi
c. Yes, they are all in the range of health BMI of 103.1 lbs to 139.4 lbs
i. 114.6 lbs-(0.1 x 114.6)= 103.1 lbs
ii.154.9 lbs-(0.1 x 154.9)= 139.4 lbs
Malnutrition Assessment:
4. As mentioned above, Mrs. Sparrow was recently ill and lost 25 pounds over the last 3 months.
Prior to that her weight had been fairly stable for a year. Mrs. Sparrow currently weighs what %
of her usual weight?
a. (225/250)x100= 90%
5. What % of her usual weight did Mrs. Sparrow lose in the past 3 months?
a. (250-225)-250=0.1 x 100=10%
6. Since her weight loss was unintentional how would this amount of weight loss be classified?
Why (be sure to cite your source for your classification and reason)?
a. Her weight loss would be classified as chronic illness severe malnutrition (greater than
7.5% in 3 months)
b. Mrs. Sparrow was classified in chronic illness/injury and not acute illness/injury because
she has been ill for the past three months, but did not have a rapidly worsening illness
such as massive internal trauma or third degree burns on majority of her body.

Calculating Energy Needs:
Mrs. Sparrow currently works as a law enforcement officer on rotating shifts; therefore she does not get
much exercise on a regular basis.
7. Calculate Mrs. Sparrows current TDE using the Mifflin St.-Jeor equation and her current body
weight. Round your final answer to the nearest 50 kcal.
a. REE=[9.99 X 102.3 kg] + [6.25 X 168 cm] - [4.92 X 40] -161
a. 1,021.98 + 1050 196.8 161=1,714.2= 1,714 kcal
b. AF= 1.3 (average person w/ no increased physical activity)
c. TDE= 1,714 x 1.3 x 1 (no injuries)= 2,228.2= 2,250 kcal/day
Mrs. Sparrow is hospitalized about a week later after being in an automobile accident and suffering
skeletal trauma as a result. She is currently bed-ridden and will be for the next month. As a result, she
will not be able to return to work during that time. You have been called to consult on the case.
8. What is Mrs. Sparrows TDE now? (Round your final answer to the nearest 50 kcal)
a. TDE= 1,714 x 1.1 (confined to bed) x 1.35 (skeletal trauma)= 2,545.29= 2,550 kcal/day
9. If Mrs. Sparrow continues to eat the same amount of energy that she did before her accident
a. How much weight would she be expected to gain or lose during the 30-day recovery period?
b. Should you be concerned? Why or why not? Be sure to cite your sources!
b. 2,250- 2,550= - 300 kcal/day x 30 days= - 9,000 kcal/30 days
c. -9,000 kcal/3500 kcal per lb= -2.6 lbs a month

d. 2.6/250 (wt prior to injury) x 100= 1.04% loss in 1 months
e. No, I would not be concerned. A 1.04% loss in one month does not put Mrs. Sparrow at
risk for malnutrition according to the Identification and Documentation of Adult
Malnutrition Chart
