Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who wants to lose 0.9 kg (2 lb) of body fat per week. The nurse knows that 0.45 kg (1 lb) of body fat is equal to 3,500 calories. The nurse should instruct the client to reduce his daily caloric intake by how many calories? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To lose 2 lb per week and knowing 1 lb equals 3,500 calories, the client needs a deficit of 2 × 3,500 = 7,000 calories per week. Divided by 7 days, this is approximately 1,000 calories per day.
