Answer to Question 1

C
Chronic infection at any age and especially in childhood increases the risk of malnutrition be-cause nutrient needs may be higher and nutrients may not be so well absorbed. Also appetite may be lower. Inactivity in middle-aged men is likely to lead to overnutrition, not undernutrition. Sleep-deprivation in adolescents is not associated with malnutrition. Breast-fed infants are usually well-nourished and are not at high risk for malnutrition.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The formula to calculate BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared or weight in pounds divided by height in inches squared multiplied by 703 . Weight in kilograms is converted to pounds by multiplying the kilograms by 2.2 (75  2.2 = 165). For this client, 165 / 6084  703 = 19.06.
