Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Protein provides energy, but because of the essential role of protein in growth, maintenance, and repair, a diet needs to provide adequate kilocalories from nonprotein sources. The body is unable to synthesize some amino acids, such as essential amino acids. The body can only obtain these from daily food sources. The body needs a positive nitrogen balance, not negative, for growth, maintenance of lean muscle mass and vital organs, and wound healing.

Answer to Question 2

A
Task II is working through the pain of grief. It is impossible to experience a loss without some degree of emotional pain. Individuals who deny or suppress the pain often prolong their grief. Task I occurs when the individual accepts the reality of the loss. Task III occurs when people adjust to the environment in which the deceased is missing. Task IV occurs when the person emotionally relocates the deceased and moves on with life.
