Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The NIH recommends low-calorie diets of 1000 to 1200 cal/day for overweight women and 1200 to 1600 cal/day for overweight men.

Answer to Question 2

B
Rapid infusion of hypertonic enteral formula may draw water into the intestines and cause os-motic diarrhea. Tube placement and patient position affect aspiration, not formula molarity and infusion rate. Weight gain would be caused by administration of more kcals than the patient needs, not by hypertonicity or infusion rate. Enteral formula infusion does not generally affect blood pressure.
