Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The menu of egg salad, a side salad, applesauce, and diet soda does not violate Jewish religious customs. The Jewish client is least likely to be accepting of the meal containing pork. In addition, meat and milk are not served in the same meal.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The Filipino American has a higher than average risk to be lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance may make ingestion of dairy products challenging. The client's preferred sources of protein are not a source of concern. The use of salt and vinegar for seasoning are not issues for the client who has concerns related to osteoporosis.
