Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The BMI should not be used exclusively to evaluate weight or nutritional recommendations. It is not reflective of variations of body fat, muscle size or bone mineral content, racial or athletic level of an individual. Using this tool in addition to other nutritional screenings such as skinfold measurement, physical assessment and interviewing will provide the best overall evaluation and recommendation base. The cost of using the tool is not a consideration. The tool is for use in adults, not just older adults. Skinfold measurement alone may not provide an overall nutrition evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Unintentional weight loss is considered clinically significant and requires further assessment. The cause is not readily apparent and may be due to a disease process. The female that just began college has had activity and nutrition changes. The 2-year-old seems to be growing sufficiently and the 35-year-old female has had recent body changes.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
