Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The second step in metabolic assessment is to interpret the RQ. The RQ is the ratio of moles of CO2 expired to moles of O2 consumed.

ANS: C
This type of PEM usually manifests itself as a gradual wasting process, as seen in chronic diseas-es such as cancer and emphysema. The primary clinical sign is progressive weight loss.
