Considering a temperature of 102º, calculate BH's caloric requirements
BEE = 655 + [9.6 × wt] + [1.7 × ht] - [4.7 × age]
= 655 + [9.6 × 45.9] + [1.7 × 160] – [4.7 × 22]
= 655 + 440.6 + 272 – 103.4
= 1264
T = 102° F 102 – 98.6 = 3.4
# of degrees F elevated × 7% = % BEE is to be increased
3.4 × 7 = 23.8%
1264 × .238 = 300.8
Total BEE = 1264 + 300.8 or 1565 kcals
