Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Negative nitrogen balance occurs when the body loses more nitrogen than the body gains, for example, with infection, sepsis, burns, fever, starvation, head injury, and trauma. Although all these clients may be experiencing an increased nitrogen need for body repair, the burn client has the greatest need and so is at greatest risk for a negative nitrogen balance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
High-nutrient-density foods, such as fruits and vegetables, provide a large number of nutrients in relationship to kilocalories. Low-nutrient-density foods, such as alcohol or sugar, are high in kil-ocalories but are nutrient poor. The remaining options mention low-calorie and comfort food; they are not really discussing high-nutrient-density foods.
