Question 2

Mr. R. is an elderly gentleman who is being discharged from the ICU following a serious illness. Prior to discharge the nurse met with his son to discuss dietary needs at home.

She stressed the need to provide nutrient dense foods because he tires easily and rarely finishes his meals. The best way to define nutrient dense foods is: 1. Foods high in calories that provide quick energy.
2. Foods from a variety of sources that provide adequate nutrients.
3. Foods that are low fat and protein.
4. Foods with significant nutrients with the least amount of calories.

Answer to Question 1

A
Vegan diets contain only plant foods. Diets that contain mostly raw foods are macrobiotic diets. Diets than contain plant foods plus eggs are ovo-vegetarian diets. Diets that contain plant foods plus fish are pescetarian diets (these diets also usually include eggs and milk).

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Nutrient dense foods contain a significant amount of nutrients for the least amount of calories. Foods containing high calories such as sugar and fat often lack significant amounts of nutrients. Nutrient dense foods contain concentrated nutrients in small amounts, compared with eating many foods to obtain the needed nutrients.
