Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
BMI, an index of a person's weight in relation to height, stimulates relative risk of health problems related to weight. Healthy or normal BMI is defined as 18.5 to 24.9 . Values above and below this range are associated with increased health risks. Calculation of ideal weight is not an index. Prealbumin levels are given by the laboratory, not calculated by the nurse. A BMI is not a calculation of necessary caloric intake to maintain ideal weight.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
People with diabetes are advised to limit their intake of saturated fat to less than 7 of total calories.
