  When questioned by the nurse, the patient denies any change in diet or activity, but admits to losing 10 lb in the past 6 weeks. What is the nurse's best response to the family member's concern? a. Maybe the patient has a higher metabolic rate than you.
  b. It doesn't seem fair that some people can lose weight so easily.
  c. This disease affects the respiratory sys-tem and causes the body to burn more calories to supply the energy to breathe.
  d. You need to discuss this with the health care provider so testing can be ordered for tuberculosis.
