Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Using a single objective measure is ineffective in predicting risk of nutritional problems. Combine multiple objective measures with subjective measures related to nutrition to adequately screen for nutritional problems. Chronic disease and increased metabolic requirements are risk factors for the development of nutritional problems; these patients may be in critical need of this assessment. The Mini Nutritional Assessment was developed to use for screening older adults in home care programs, nursing homes, and hospitals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
BMI greater than 30 is defined as obesity. BMI between 25 and 30 is classified as overweight. BMI less than 25 is considered normal or underweight. All patients can be classified by dividing their weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
