Answer to Question 1

A
Carbohydrates should not make up more than 50 of the daily intake of calories because they break down into carbon dioxide, worsening breathing. The other selections show good under-standing. Of course, the nurse needs to take into consideration the amount of carbohydrates in the entire day and not just one selection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Caffeine stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, often producing the rapid pulse associated with cardiac disorders. Caffeine effects are not mistaken for normal signs of aging, produce few-er symptoms in older adults, or resemble side effects of antihypertensives.
