Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Factors such as age, body mass, gender, fever, starvation, menstruation, illness, injury, infection, activity level, or thyroid function affect energy requirements. There is no direct connection be-tween depression and energy requirements.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
Signs of dysphagia include the following: cough during eating; change in voice tone or quality after swallowing; abnormal movements of the mouth, tongue, or lips; and slow, weak, imprecise, or uncoordinated speech. Abnormal gag reflex, delayed swallowing, incomplete oral clearance or pocketing, regurgitation, pharyngeal pooling, delayed or absent trigger of swallow, and inability to speak consistently are other signs of dysphagia.
