Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C, D
Further teaching is needed if a student included cheese, milk, meats, and eggs. Strategies to combat both constipation and hemorrhoids include ensuring a healthy diet high in fiber (e.g., cereals, whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables daily) and ample fluid intake (2 to 3 quarts per day).
