Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

A BMI of 31 is classified as obese, and the client faces a risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and other health problems. While BMI is a valid instrument, other data sources are needed to supplement this value clinically. Obesity is considered to be an outcome of a variety of factors including heredity and lifestyle.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

HBIG is used as an adjunct to hepatitis B vaccine for postexposure immunoprophylaxis to prevent HBV infections in high-risk populations. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine is for HIV preexposure coverage. There is no hepatitis C vaccine available on the market yet. Hepatitis A vaccine is for HAV, which is usually spread from fecal-oral routes.
