Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The protein in meat, poultry, fish, yogurt, eggs, and milk contain all nine essential amino acids required and are considered complete proteins. The protein in nonanimal sources does not contain all essential amino acids and are considered incomplete proteins. Green, leafy vegetables; whole grain toast; and apples or applesauce are carbohydrate sources.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A rubella titer detects antibodies for the virus that causes German measles. If the titer is 1:8 or less, the woman is not immune and requires immunization after birth. Platelet level and red blood cell count would be determined by a complete blood count. Rh status would be determined by blood typing.
