1.A nurse is teaching about the energy needed at rest to maintain life-sustaining
activities for a specific period of time. What is the nurse discussing?
a. Resting energy expenditure (REE)
b. Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
c. Nutrient density
d. Nutrients
ANS- B
The baSal metabOliC rate (BMR) iS the energy needed at reSt tO maintain lifeSuStaining aCtivitieS fOr a SpeCifiC periOd Of time, The reSting energy
expenditure (REE), Or reSting metabOliC rate, iS the amOunt Of energy an
individual needS tO COnSume Over a 24-hOur periOd fOr the bOdy tO maintain all
Of itS internal wOrking aCtivitieS while at reSt, NutrientS are the elementS
neCeSSary fOr bOdy prOCeSSeS andfunCtiOn, Nutrient denSity iS the prOpOrtiOn
Of eSSential nutrientS tO the number Of kilOCalOrieS, High–nutrient denSity
fOOdS prOvide a large number Of nutrientS in relatiOn tO kilOCalOrieS,
2. In general, when a patient’s energy requirements are completely met by
kilocalorie (kcal) intake in food. which assessment finding will the nurse
observe?
a. Weight increases,
b. Weight decreases,
c. Weight does not change,
d. Weight fluctuates daily,
ANS- C
In general, when energy requirements are completely met by kilocalorie (kcal)
intake in food, weight does not change. When kilocalorieS ingested exceed a
persons energy demands the individual gains weight, If kilocalorieS ingested fail to
meet a persons energy requirement, the individual loses weight, Fluid, not
kilocalories, Causes daily weight fluctuations.
