Answer to Question 1

C
Loss of 4 lbs by a 150 lb athlete represents loss of 2.7 of body weight. Loss of 2 to 3 of body weight impairs performance, causing an increase in body temperature, confusion, and loss of coordination.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 5

Rationale: This client has not been receiving adequate amounts of vitamin D and calcium. The client's child is at risk for being born prematurely due to pre-term labor. The child may be born with a low birth weight and osteopenia. This child has a higher risk of developing rickets. This child is not at risk for hypercalcemia or macrosomia. Hypercalcemia is when there are high levels of serum calcium present. Macrosomia is when the child has an increased birth weight and this is often due to maternal diabetes mellitus and high levels of serum glucose.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
