Answer to Question 1

B
Anabolism is the constructive phase of metabolism in which smaller molecules such as amino acids are converted to larger molecules such as proteins. Catabolism is the destructive phase in which larger molecules such as glycogen are converted to smaller molecules. Glycolysis refers to the breakdown of glucose by enzymes. Deamination is the degradation of amino acids.

Answer to Question 2

3. The client frequently uses calcium carbonate (Tums) for acid indigestion.

Rationale:
Excessive use of calcium carbonate can cause metabolic alkalosis. Use of ibuprophen and metformin is not associated with alkalosis. Overuse of aspirin can be associated with metabolic acidosis.
