Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A weight loss that occurs relatively rapidly is due to an acute condition versus weight loss that occurs over time. The latter could be caused by a deliberate change in eating habits, or it could have a physiologic cause such as cancer. Anything that occurs over time is considered chronic rather than acute.

Answer to Question 2

A
