Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: No single piece of the nutritional assessment is more important than another piece. All factors should be evaluated. The nutritional assessment consists of a nutrition history, a head-to-toe physical assessment, and laboratory-based diagnostic testing. Laboratory test results can be influenced by medications, disease, environmental factors, and nutrition. Even if laboratory test results are within normal limits, critical thinking must help the health-care providers create the best nutritional assessment possible for the client.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Organic foods are grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Instead, natural products, such as manure, compost, and other organic wastes, are used.
