Answer to Question 1

B
Metabolic rate decreases during starvation because the body is trying to conserve energy. It in-creases during stress because the body uses energy to heal the injury.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Core nutrients essential to wound healing include proteins, vitamins A and C, and copper. Carbohydrates are a good source of energy. Magnesium is an essential nutrient needed for the body to function. Fat is a source of energy.
