Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
Rationale: Both increased temperature and shivering increase the energy expenditure for the critically ill client. Anorexia should also be considered since a decrease in calories can result in a net weight loss. Weight can be used to monitor the balance of energy expenditure and caloric intake. Appetite determines the amount of food consumed, not the needs of the body for energy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The formula for calculating BMI is weight in pounds divided by height in inches squared multiplied by 703 . Thus, 125 / 4096  703 = 21.45.
