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.
