Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Statements that indicate the client understood the teaching are limiting shrimp to 12 oz a week, avoiding soft cheeses, and not eating any swordfish. A bologna sandwich should be avoided unless it is reheated until steaming hot. Raw or undercooked fish should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Calcium sources approximately equivalent to 1 cup of milk include 3/4 cup yogurt, 1 1/4 oz of hard cheese, and 1/4 cups of ice cream. It takes 3 cups of sherbet and 1 1/2 cups of low-fat cottage cheese to equal the calcium equivalent of 1 cup of milk.
