Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,200 (1200)
Rationale: Examining the client's diet and reducing the normal intake to 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day for women and to 1,200 to 1,600 calories per day for men is usually sufficient. However, small, progressive steps will be needed to achieve these values in clients who are accustomed to consuming two to six times the recommended daily calorie values. Weight loss of 0.5 to 1 kg (1 to 2 lbs) per week is usually a realistic goal and is physically safe.
