Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The underlying risk factors for metabolic syndrome are obesity and inactivity. In numerous studies, rapid weight loss is not as sustainable as slower weight loss over time. Achieving a BMI < 25 is an appropriate goal; however, doing so in three months may not be realistic considering the client is obese to start with. The loss of 510 of the current weight over 6 to 12 months and increasing daily activity is a more realistic goal and may be perceived as more attainable by the client as well. Daily exercise for 60 minutes for an obese client with a sedentary lifestyle is not a realistic first goal.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The breakfast consisting of oatmeal, milk, toast, and butter presents the best option for a heart-healthy meal. The other options contain extra fats and sugars that should be avoided.
