A

decompress/drain the stomach. (most likely). irrigate with saline, flush with water.

37
Q

A

CHON- Growth and tissue maintenance. (3.5-5.0 g/dl) Signs of deficiency is edema, retarded growth muscle wasting, damage to mental development.

38
Q

Carbohydrates

A

CHO- provides energy. Most abundant, least expensive source of calories

39
Q

Fat (Lipids)

A

COOH- Most concentrated source of energy. High fat diets increase the risk for heart disease and obesity. Saturated fat from animals.
