Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The potential risks associated with regaining weight make maintenance a critical issue. Patients are encouraged to continue exercise, self-monitoring, and treatment support. Long-term weight loss and maintenance mean a lifelong commitment to significant lifestyle changes, including food and eating habits, activity and exercise routines, and behavior modification. There is no evidence that the patient's body needs to have the extra 15 lbs or that the patient is not obese.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
This BMI value indicates obesity. HDL levels are reduced in obese patients, whereas LDL levels are elevated. There is no relationship between BMI and TH.
