Answer to Question 1

A, B
Feedback:
It is important to understand acculturation so interventions to promote healthy food choices can be tailored to be culturally and individually appropriate. There is no need to know what other family members eats, nor is it appropriate to insist family bring the client their food.

Answer to Question 2

C
Men generally have more visceral fat, which is easier to lose than lower body fat (which is more common in women). Willpower and levels of activity are not different in men versus women.
