Answer to Question 1

D
Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy required to support life-sustaining processes. It is close to the amount of energy expended while at rest (resting energy expenditure), although this includes some of the energy used to digest food and for activity. Basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and thermic effect of food make up total energy expenditure.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: It is recommended that a client with a normal body mass index (BMI) gain between 2535 lbs during her pregnancy. Inadequate maternal weight gain is a health risk, often associated with small-for-gestational age, or low-birth-weight infant. Therefore it is important to counsel clients on desired weight gain in relation to their pre-pregnancy BMI in order to assure essential fetal growth and appropriate infant birth weight. It is recommended that underweight clients (BMI less than 19.8) gain 28-40 lbs, whereas clients that are overweight (BMI 2629) gain 1525 lbs.

Answer to Question 3

A, B, C
