Answer to Question 1

A
An imbalance of nutrients and/or energy (in this case, high intake of some nutrients and low in-take of energy) is called malnutrition. Overnutrition only refers to excessive intake or nutrients and/or energy. Disordered eating refers to unusual eating habits that may or may not lead to some form of malnutrition. Nonnutrition is not a recognized term.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Blood glucose levels rise with age for reasons that are unclear. Treatment may not be instituted for glucose elevations that are considered high in younger population but may be normal for the elderly.
