Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
To overcome the limitations of estimating formulas, energy needs can be measured at the bed-side. To do so, a procedure called indirect calorimetry is used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Of course, energy needs vary according to activity level and state of health. Energy needs of sick patients can be significantly higher than predicted normal values. Energy needs for obese indi-viduals are less because adipose tissue uses less energy than does muscle. Energy needs should be reevaluated and adjusted whenever weight changes more than 5 to 10 lb.
