Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: Indirect calorimetry is the best means of determining the resting energy expenditure (REE). Indirect calorimetry uses the O2 consumption and the CO2 production to indirectly predict the REE.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: A number of routine steps need to be taken to optimize test conditions at the time of an indirect calorimetry study. Patient should be tested in a thermal-neutral environment, and interruptions should be avoided. Standardized physician orders are helpful, and should alert the staff and support personnel to the time of testing. Ventilator settings should not be changed for 90 minutes before the test.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
