Answer to Question 1

The primary function of protein is to build and repair body tissues. Ariel is in need of increased amounts of protein to heal the burned tissues. The burn depletes the fluids and electrolytes in the body, and increases the metabolic rate in the effort to heal the tissue. Dehydration can easily occur.

Answer to Question 2

B
