Answer to Question 1

The correct choice is d. The RDA values are designed to meet the nutritional needs of most healthy people at various life stages. The RDAs may not apply to people with chronic diseases due to their condition or the impact of their condition on absorption or use of a given nutrient. People with cystic fibrosis secrete abnormally thick mucus that may reduce pancreatic function and interfere with nutrient digestion and absorption.

Answer to Question 2

d
