Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: To calculate the percent weight loss, subtract the current weight (165 lb) from the usual weight (180 lb). Divide the result by the usual weight and multiply that result by 100. In this case, the loss is 8.3.

Rationale 2: This laboratory value does not need to be immediately brought to the physician's attention.
