Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Feedback:
As many as 30 of clients with COPD have low BMI. This may be due to anorexia, early satiety related to abdominal bloating, and fatigue due to dyspnea.

Answer to Question 2

C
Fluid loss is most likely to be a problem for a patient with an ileostomy because food exits the intestines before water is absorbed in the colon. A colostomy may cause some fluid loss, de-pending on where the colostomy is located and how much of the colon the intestinal contents pass through for fluid absorption. A hiatal hernia does not cause fluid loss. Crohn's disease may cause some fluid loss during acute periods of inflammation due to malabsorption.
