Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The glycemic response is the effect a food has on the blood glucose concentration; how quickly the glucose level rises, how high it goes, and how long it takes to return to normal. The glycemic index is a numeric measure of the glycemic response of 50 g of a food sample. The glycemic load is a food's glycemic index multiplied by the amount of carbohydrate it contains to determine impact on blood glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: MyPyramid for Children has many resources that the nurse can easily use with children of varying ages. The Dietary Guidelines and Healthy People 2010 are broad resources for health professionals who are planning for population groups. Nutrition Facts may be useful with older children, but are not considered a resource useful for planning a presentation.
