Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A simple formula of 25 to 30 cal/kg can be used for nonobese adults to determine their calorie intake. Therefore, 60 kg  25 cal/kg = 1500 calories and 60 kg  30 cal/kg = 1800 calories.

Answer to Question 2

A
Over-the-counter medications are just as likely as prescription medications to cause drug-drug or nutrient-drug interactions. It is important to ask patients, but medical staff are not legally re-quired to know what patients are using, especially if patients do not offer this information. It would be more appropriate for a pharmacist to advise patients about generic forms of drugs. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs may be taken at the same time, but it is important for the medical staff to know what patients are taking to avoid harmful interactions.
