Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Young adults, though identified as underinsured and having limited access to primary care, are identified as a group knowledgeable about the benefits of healthy eating. This age group (20-31) has been identified in numerous national surveys to not regularly engage in healthy eating habits especially eating below the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables and a diet high in fast foods. Earlier studies among college students identified the following barriers: cost, stress, lack of knowledge related to food preparation, and peer influence and lack of time to balance busy lives.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The My Plate approach encourages persons to be mindful of the foods they eat in terms of both portion size and proportion to other foods. One half of the plate should consist of fruits and vegetables, one quarter each for meats/proteins and grains, preferably whole grains. Recommendations also include decreased sodium and sugary foods. Thus, there are additional considerations to keep in mind in addition to avoiding processed foods and eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Giving the parent a copy of the plate does not help educate the parent about the My Plate approach.
