Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The 2000 DASH plan includes 6 to 8 grain servings; 4 to 5 vegetable servings; 4 to 5 fruit servings; 2 to 3 fat-free, low-fat milk and milk products servings; 6 or less lean meat servings; and 2 to 3 fats or oils. The beef sandwich meal fits these recommendations the best.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Clients who want to reduce their risk of cavities should be advised to limit between-meal snacking on carbohydrates, including soft drinks. Eating small frequent meals or feeding children orange juice and whole-grain crackers do not limit the nutrients in food that erode the teeth. It is not possible nor is it advisable to eliminate all sugars from their diet.
