Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Box 23-10 summarizes the factors contributing to malnutrition in COPD patients.

For the patient with pulmonary disease or those requiring mechanical ventilation, high carbohy-drate loads can cause problems. High carbohydrate loads increase CO2 production and the RQ, resulting in increased ventilatory demand, O2 consumption, and work of breathing.
