Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Chicken is high in protein.
2. Spinach is high in vitamin K.
3. Oranges are high in vitamin C, which aids in the healing process.
4. Whole wheat bread is high in carbohydrates.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. Milk and apple contain simple carbohydrates, and chicken contains protein. The client needs to choose complex carbohydrates as well.
2. White bread is not a good source of complex carbohydrates; whole wheat bread is.
3. Whole wheat toast, milk, and pears offer high-quality complex and simple carbohydrates, and are a good choice.
4. Fried chicken is high in fat and, if coated with flour, offers very little good carbohydrate. Cookies contain sugar, which is a simple carbohydrate and not a good choice.
