Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
During acute illness, proper nutrition helps prevent the loss of lean body mass. After the resolu-tion of the acute phase of illness, good nutrition helps the muscles regain strength and improves the likelihood of successful ventilator weaning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
