Answer to Question 1

C
JCAHO requires that all hospitalized patients must be screened to determine whether they need in-depth nutrition assessment within 48 hours of hospital admission. Weight loss and nutri-tion-related diagnoses are only two of the many possible factors that contribute to nutritional risk.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
One pound of body fat equals approximately 3500 calories. To lose 1 pound each week, one would need to ingest 3500 fewer calories each week. Therefore, 3500 calories  7 days/week = 500 calorie deficit per day.
