Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Healthy People 2020 is a set of goals to promote health and reduce chronic disease. One of these goals is to increase the proportion of primary care physicians who regularly measure the body mass index of their clients. The other options are not actual goals to complete at each visit.

Answer to Question 2

2 Rationale: Athletes, who train for endurance sports like long-distance runners, are more likely to oxidize fat to provide energy instead of relying on glycogen and glucose. This ability is a product of aerobic conditioning. It is unrelated to a client's age and a diagnosis of a chronic disease. Ballet is not necessarily classified as an endurance sport and this is not the best answer.
