Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Prealbumin normally ranges from 20 to 50 mg/dL. This test is useful for monitoring short-term changes in visceral protein (Grodner et al, 2004). It has a short half-life of 2 days. A patient has compromised protein status when levels are between 10 and 15 g/dL. Normal serum albumin values are between 3.5 and 5.0 g/dL. For nutritional analysis, values between 2.8 and 3.5 g/dL indicate compromised protein status. Total lymphocyte count (TLC) is a useful measure of immune function. A normal TLC is greater than 1500 cells/mm3 . You must assess a measure of TLC along with other diagnostic indicators. A count of less than 1500/mm3 indicates possible immunocompromise associated with protein-energy malnutrition.
