Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The underlying risk factors for metabolic syndrome are obesity and inactivity. In numerous studies, rapid weight loss is not as sustainable as slower weight loss over time. Achieving a BMI < 25 is an appropriate goal; however, doing so in three months may not be realistic considering the client is obese to start with. The loss of 510 of the current weight over 6 to 12 months and increasing daily activity is a more realistic goal and may be perceived as more attainable by the client as well. Daily exercise for 60 minutes for an obese client with a sedentary lifestyle is not a realistic first goal.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The breakfast consisting of oatmeal, milk, toast, and butter presents the best option for a heart-healthy meal. The other options contain extra fats and sugars that should be avoided.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
