Answer to Question 1

C
Chronic infection at any age and especially in childhood increases the risk of malnutrition be-cause nutrient needs may be higher and nutrients may not be so well absorbed. Also appetite may be lower. Inactivity in middle-aged men is likely to lead to overnutrition, not undernutrition. Sleep-deprivation in adolescents is not associated with malnutrition. Breast-fed infants are usually well-nourished and are not at high risk for malnutrition.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The formula to calculate BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared or weight in pounds divided by height in inches squared multiplied by 703 . Weight in kilograms is converted to pounds by multiplying the kilograms by 2.2 (75  2.2 = 165). For this client, 165 / 6084  703 = 19.06.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
