Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Kwashiorkor results from the more sudden lack of protein and calories, as in the first-born infant weaned suddenly on the arrival of a new sibling, when a diet of nutrient-rich breast milk is trad-ed for a nutrient-poor cereal-based diet. The protruding belly and edematous face and limbs, characteristics of kwashiorkor, result from a lack of circulating proteins needed to maintain fluid balance and to transport fat out of the liver.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Protein-energy malnutrition may be reflected in low values for albumin, transferrin, transthyretin, retinol-binding protein, and total lymphocyte count.
