Answer to Question 1

C
Loss of 4 lbs by a 150 lb athlete represents loss of 2.7 of body weight. Loss of 2 to 3 of body weight impairs performance, causing an increase in body temperature, confusion, and loss of coordination.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 5

Rationale: This client has not been receiving adequate amounts of vitamin D and calcium. The client's child is at risk for being born prematurely due to pre-term labor. The child may be born with a low birth weight and osteopenia. This child has a higher risk of developing rickets. This child is not at risk for hypercalcemia or macrosomia. Hypercalcemia is when there are high levels of serum calcium present. Macrosomia is when the child has an increased birth weight and this is often due to maternal diabetes mellitus and high levels of serum glucose.
