Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Historically, nutrition interventions to prevent or treat hypertension included weight loss, a sodium-restricted diet, and decreased alcohol intake.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The BMI is a measure of weight to height. It does not account for all parameters of lean body mass (muscle); however, it reasonable to assume that height and weight are out of proportion. A client may be of short stature and not weigh 200 pounds but still have a BMI of 29. The client may or may not have a sedentary job; a BMI of 29 indicates that caloric intake exceeds caloric expenditure. A client may not look obese because of a large frame size.
