Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
An atom is the smallest part of any element. There are 21 elements found in the body. When atoms of two or more elements react chemically with one another, they form a substance called a compound. A mixture is a blend of two or more substances that have been mixed together without forming a new compound.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A moderate sodium restriction of 1,000 to 2,000 mg per day is used in cases of severe edema, hypertension, and heart disease. A normal healthy client can consume more than 4,000 mg of sodium per day. For the client under mild sodium restriction, 3,000 to 4,000 mg of sodium per day is recommended, and 250 to 500 mg per day is recommended for the client under strict and severe sodium restriction.
