MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. What is a nutrient that does not provide energy for the body?
a. A carbohydrate
b. A protein
c. A vitamin
d. Fat
ANS: C
The energy nutrients are carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p. 72 TOP: Nursing Process: Planning
MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation
2. Energy is lost from the body as
a. heat.
b. urine.
c. sweat.
d. fat.
ANS: A
Energy is lost from the body as heat when the internal energy cycle changes stored energy
into body fuels, which the body uses for various functions. As the cycle continues, water is
NURSand
excreted, carbon dioxide is exhaled, INheat
GTBis.radiated,
COM returning the end products to the
external environment.

3. The unit of measurement used to refer to the amount of energy in food is the
a. watt.
b. kilogram.
c. milligram.
d. kilocalorie.
ANS: D
The kilocalorie is the unit of measure used to measure the amount of energy in food and is the
amount of heat necessary to raise 1 kg of water 1° C.

ANS: C
The calculations are as follows:
10 g carbohydrate 4 kcal/g = 40 kcal
2 g protein 4 kcal/g = 8 kcal
5 g fat 9 kcal/g = 45 kcal
Total calories = 40 kcal + 8 kcal + 45 kcal = 93 kcal

MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation
5. Which of the following represents an external energy cycle?
a. The moon
b. Growing plants
c. Crystals
d. Metabolism
ANS: B
The external energy cycle includes plants, which transform energy from the sun into stored
chemical energy.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 72 TOP: Nursing Process: Planning
MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation
6. After foods are eaten, they are converted into which of the following body fuels?
a. Amino acids and fatty acids
b. Fatty acids and glucose NURSINGTB.COM
c. Glucose and triglycerides
d. Glycogen and glucose
ANS: B
After foods are eaten, they are converted into fatty acids and glucose, both of which are used
as fuel for the body.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 72 TOP: Nursing Process: Planning
MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation
7. The metabolic rate would increase significantly with a body temperature of
a. 97.4 F.
b. 98.4 F.
c. 98.6 F.
d. 101.2 F.
ANS: D
Fever increases the basal metabolic rate by approximately 7% for each 1° F rise in
temperature. Normal body temperature is 98.4° F or 98.6° F; 101.2° F would be high enough
to cause a significant increase in the metabolic rate.
