Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4

Rationale: People who are prone to developing undernutrition are those that may be unable to eat well due to a medical condition, altered functional status, a poor diet, or a low socioeconomic status. Depression and social isolation place people at risk for undernutrition. Chemotherapy can cause nausea and vomiting which is associated with undernutrition. It is important to have good oral health to be able to chew raw fruits and vegetables and other foods. People who take more than one recommended dose of a multivitamin are more prone to developing overnutrition. People who eat too much food develop issues with overnutrition due to an increased intake of nutrients, calories, saturated fats, vitamins, and minerals.
