Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because many models were developed for the middle class, they may not be useful to community health nurses working with low-income families.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors that have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular events. These factors include abdominal obesity (waist circumference greater than 35 inches in women), dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides and low HDL), insulin resistance, and elevated blood pressure. The underlying etiology of metabolic syndrome is related to the combination of inactivity, obesity, and genetics. Nutritional advice should focus on weight loss, use of olive oil (but do not fry foods), and eating fish and seafood such as salmon, halibut, tuna, and scallops at least three times a week to increase omega-3 intake.
