Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Albumin is often used to assess protein status, even though albumin values are more likely to be altered during critical illness from factors other than protein malnutrition, such as from injury, infection, dehydration, liver disease, renal disease, and congestive heart failure. Albumin is degraded slowly, so serum levels may be maintained until malnutrition is in a chronic stage. It is not specific for nutritional status. Albumin levels do not require fasting prior to being drawn nor is it assessed in relation to blood urea nitrogen.
