Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Some clients may underreport portions of the nutritional history during the data collection process. Clients seeking the social approval of the nurse or wanting to avoid disapproval for their habits may underreport. Underreporting occurs for all ages and is seen more often in smokers, the obese, and individuals with lower educational and socioeconomic levels. Additionally, alcohol and drug use are frequently underreported. A nonjudgmental approach during the nutritional history will provide an environment conducive to full answers by the client.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Hypertension is highest in the African American population. The prevalence of overnutrition is highest in the Mexican American male. The risk for overnutrition is most associated with a lower socioeconomic status and reduced levels of education. Iron deficiency anemia is not documented as a prevalent problem in the African American population.
