Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The client with the greatest risk lives the farthest from the equator and smokes. Smokers are at increased risk of MS. Brazilians and Italians live close to the equator, which lowers the risk of MS. Chronic parasitic infestation lowers the immune response, which lowers the risk of MS. African-Americans and men are at lower risk of developing MS. It is theorized that vitamin D deficiency may increase risk of MS because it is seen less in locales near the equator.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 34 kg/m2
Explanation:
Weight (209 lbs) height (1.67 meters)

(To convert lbs to kg) weight divided by 2.2 = kg
209 lb / 2.2 = 95 kg

(To calculate BMI using kg/meters squared) Weight (kg) divided by height (meters) squared
95 / (1.67  1.67) = 95 / 2.79 = 34 BMI
