Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Refeeding syndrome is a potentially fatal complication that occurs from an abrupt change from a catabolic state to an anabolic state and an increase in insulin caused by a dramatic increase in calories.

Answer to Question 2

1
Protein plays an important role in wound healing and is used in the synthesis of new tissue, wound remodeling, and maintenance of the immune system. Adequate intake of dietary protein eliminates the need for muscle catabolism and allows protein to be used for tissue repair rather than energy. Nutritional supplements with high protein content are available.
