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.
