Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: This diet is high in calcium. The patient has iron-deficiency anemia, and requires a high-iron diet.
Rationale 2: This patient is anemic and needs iron. This meal contains iron in the beef, folic acid in the spinach, and vitamin C in the tomato soup and orange juice. Vitamin C helps absorption of the iron; folic acid is needed for production of red cells.
Rationale 3: The patient has iron-deficiency anemia, and requires a high-iron diet. This meal has a moderate amount of protein, but no vitamin C to help with iron absorption.
Rationale 4: The patient has iron-deficiency anemia, and requires a high-iron diet. This meal is high in fiber, low in fat, and moderately high in protein, but low in iron.

Answer to Question 2

2, 5
