Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Staphylococcus aureus is commonly found on the skin or in the noses of healthy people. It rarely presents a risk to the general population, employees, or family members unless they have some type of debilitating disease.

Answer to Question 2

1,378 calories
Feedback:
The equation for a male patient is 66 + (6.23  weight in pounds) + (12.7  height in inches)  (6.76  age in years). For this patient, the equation would be:
66 + (6.23  150 lb) + (12.7 75 inches)  (6.76  85)
66 + 934.5 + 952.5  574.6 = 1378.4 calories
