Answer to Question 1

A
Respiratory quotient is lower when the proportion of energy intake from fat is higher. The respi-ratory quotient is the amount of carbon dioxide produced compared to the amount of oxygen used. Respiratory quotient is high for carbohydrate and low for fat.

Answer to Question 2

C
Malnourished patients with COPD have relatively high protein requirements to help increase ventilatory drive and preserve muscle mass. Low protein intakes will contribute to malnutrition. Protein needs are higher than for healthy patients, but can be achieved using a well-planned diet.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
