Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Obesity, as a result of caloric excess, refers to weight more than 20 above ideal body weight. For this patient, 20 of her ideal body weight would be 24 pounds, and greater than 20 of her body weight would be over 144 pounds. Therefore, having a weight of 156 pounds would be considered obese.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The most commonly used anthropometric measures are height, weight, triceps skinfold thickness, elbow breadth, and arm and head circumferences.
