Answer to Question 1

B
Common deformities include an increase in the curve at the lumbar space region that throws the shoulder back, making the lordly or kingly appearance that is known as lordosis. Scoliosis involves the S curvature of the spine. Kyphosis is the rounding of thoracic spine.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
If a diet contains less than 20 to 35 g of fiber per day, it is wise to gradually increase intake so that the person remains compliant to dietary changes. The symptoms of gas, bloating, and diarrhea that accompany a sudden increase in fiber intake may inhibit patient adherence to any dietary changes.
