Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The tricep skinfold (TSF) is the site most often used to estimate subcutaneous fat because of easy access to this measurement in most situations. Tricep measurements are done at the midpoint of the arm equidistant from the uppermost posterior edge of the acromion process of the scapula and the olecranon process of the elbow.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Over-supplementation of herbs, vitamins, minerals, and sports products may be dangerous. The older adult has physiologic body changes that may change how the supplements affect the body. Many supplements have effects on medications the client may be taking; whether they are over-the-counter or prescribed medications. Use of supplements is not intended to replace healthy nutrition on a routine basis. This client needs education before there are problems. The other responses may require further investigation and an assessment of overall nutrition, but these responses do not indicate a current problem.
