NCLEX Prep: Test Bank Question: Please read the clinical scenario, and the answer questions: Breonna Jones is 16 years old, 5'4", and weighs 93lb. She was admitted 2 days ago after collapsing at the local high school. Her parents knew she was skinny but had no idea how emancipated she was, or that her life was in danger. As you develop Breonna's plan of care, you take into consideration the four major biological molecules that are building blocks of all cells. You inform the patient that it is important for her to maintain a diet rich in carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, so that each of these macromolecules can be metabolized to form a high-energy compound called
