Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
To overcome the limitations of estimating formulas, energy needs can be measured at the bed-side. To do so, a procedure called indirect calorimetry is used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Of course, energy needs vary according to activity level and state of health. Energy needs of sick patients can be significantly higher than predicted normal values. Energy needs for obese indi-viduals are less because adipose tissue uses less energy than does muscle. Energy needs should be reevaluated and adjusted whenever weight changes more than 5 to 10 lb.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
