Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: A nutrition screening may serve as the basis for nursing diagnoses. When a client has a diagnosis that indicates a client is not meeting body requirements for nutrients, a small weekly weight gain is appropriate. Weight gain is promoted by increasing caloric consumption rather than restricting activity. Increasing intake of fats is rarely recommended. Replacing sweets with protein does not necessarily increase the number of calories consumed.

Answer to Question 2

D
Traces of pesticide found in bottled apple juice is an example of an incidental food additive; it is not added to the juice to improve its quality, but is there because the pesticides were used in growing the apples and traces contaminate the juice. Vitamin A is added to nonfat milk to im-prove its nutritional value and artificial color is added to soft drinks to improve their appearance; both of these are intentional food additives. Irradiation of herbs and spices is a process, not an additive.
