4. Which of the following is a factor that affects Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?

• A. Age
• B. Sleep
• C. Fasting/Starvation
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: All the listed options (Age, Sleep, Fasting/Starvation, Activity Level) are factors that can affect a person's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). BMR is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions. Age can affect BMR as metabolism slows with age. Sleep can influence BMR as metabolism slows during sleep. Fasting or starvation can decrease BMR as the body conserves energy. Activity level can also influence BMR; the more active you are, the higher your BMR, as your body requires more energy for physical activities.

5. A client receiving chemotherapy treatments tells the nurse, 'I feel so nauseated after my treatments.' Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide the client?

• A. Eat common foods that are served cold.
• B. Sip fluids slowly throughout the day.
• C. Sit up for 1 hr after eating meals.
• D. All of the Above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the Above.' Common foods served cold, sipping fluids slowly throughout the day, and sitting up for 1 hr after eating meals can help manage nausea associated with chemotherapy. Eating common foods served cold can be easier on the stomach, sipping fluids slowly can prevent overwhelming the digestive system, and sitting up after meals can aid digestion. Choices A, B, and C all contribute to alleviating nausea and are appropriate instructions for the client.
