Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
The resting energy expenditure (REE) is the amount of calories needed to maintain body weight at rest. The REE is influenced by age, diet, BMI, and chronic illness. Urine output and appetite are not known to influence a client's REE.

Answer to Question 2

4
Triiodothyronine (T3) affects the metabolic rate. Bone growth is affected by growth hormone. Calcium regulation is controlled by calcitonin and parathyroid hormone. Blood glucose regulation is controlled by insulin and glucagon.
