Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The breakfast consisting of plain yogurt with strawberries, egg, toast, and tea best follows the guidelines of MyPlate 2000-calorie diet. The other choices contain a variety of hidden fats, sugars, and refined grains.

Answer to Question 2

4 Rationale: This client can prepare for the long-distance race by routinely eating foods with a liberal amount of salt. The diet should include fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and whole grains. People who drink to gain fluid weight during races have a higher risk of developing hyponatremia. Potassium rich foods ingestion can help prevent hypokalemia but will not help prevent dehydration and hyponatremia.

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. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
