Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
There are three methods to estimate fluid needs. When the amount of calories per day is known, then the method of 1 mL/cal consumed can be used. Because this client consumes 2000 cal/day, 2000 cal/day 1 mL/cal = 2000 mL/day.

Answer to Question 2

D
In their natural form, most oils come from plant products and most solid fats come from animal products. A few plant fats, such as coconut and palm oil, are naturally solid and a few animal fats, such as fish oil, are naturally liquid. Food processing may make fats more solid (by hydrogenation), but not necessarily. Some natural fats, such as butter and lard, are solid rather than liquid. Organic fats are not necessarily more liquid. Refining refers to processing grains to remove the bran and germ and does not affect the consistency of the oil.
