The question seems incomplete as we do not have a background/statistics for Mr. Palmer Portend. Neither does the question provide a table or information from which his fluid requirements can be calculated.
However, the process for estimating energy requirements is an exact science.
- To establish the amount of energy that an individual requires, their energy expenditure also known as Basal Metabolic Rate must be known.
- The largest expenditure of energy in the body is known as Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
- BMR is determined by body size, composition, and age.
- BMR increases or decreases with weight subject to the age of the individual.
- It is interesting to note that short and light individuals exhibit higher BMR than heavy and tall persons.
Judging from the name, Mr. Palmer is a male. The formula for calculating the BMR of men is given as:
BMR = [88.362 + (10.397 x weight in kilograms) + (4.799 x height in centimeters) ] - [ (5.677 x age in years)].
If Mr. Palmer was a woman, however, the formula would be:
BMR = [447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kilograms) + (3.098 x height in centimeters) ] - [ (4.330 x age in years)].
