Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There is no evidence that suggests that any specific types of food and beverages cause obesity.
Rationale 2: Diabetes does not cause obesity. However, obesity is related to an increased incidence of diabetes.
Rationale 3: The most important factors leading to obesity are a decrease in physical activity and an increase in caloric intake.
Rationale 4: Water and fluid retention will cause an increase in weight gain, but not obesity.
Global Rationale: The most important factors leading to obesity are a decrease in physical activity and an increase in caloric intake. There is no evidence that suggests that any specific types of food and beverages or diabetes cause obesity. Water and fluid retention will cause an increase in weight gain, but not obesity.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The response does not clarify the number of calories consumed. Three meals per day might include many more calories than advisable. The nurse should be more specific when making this recommendation.
Rationale 2: Reducing the intake of calories and increasing the amount of physical activity is the strategy that produces the best weight-reduction results.
Rationale 3: Protein intake is a necessary part of a balanced diet.
Rationale 4: Most obese individuals should be advised to start an exercise program slowly, after a physical exam by a health care provider. The activity listed here is most likely too strenuous.
Global Rationale: Reducing the intake of calories and increasing the amount of physical activity is the strategy that produces the best weight-reduction results. Three meals per day might include many more calories than advisable. Protein intake is a necessary part of a balanced diet. Most obese individuals should be advised to start an exercise program slowly, after a physical exam by a health care provider.
