Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Weight loss and exercise play an important role in blood pressure management. Diets that completely restrict certain food groups do not promote a healthy diet and can result in a lack of essential nutrients. Proteins are an integral component of metabolism and a source of energy. Bariatric surgery is reserved for obese clients who have failed conventional weight loss programs.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Feedback:
Breastfeeding offers many benefits to the mother and child. Decreasing food allergies is one for the child, and protection against breast cancer and mobilizing stored fat are beneficial for the mother. Breastfeeding does not provide reliable contraception, and it increases bone density in the mother.
