Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Reading labels will prevent the purchase of sodium-laden foods. Sodium-restricted foods are available on most menus. Simply avoiding salty foods does not guarantee less sodium because there are many foods containing sodium that are not salty. Adding salt should be absolutely restricted, not diminished.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
E, A, C, B, D

The five leading causes of death in older adults are heart disease, cancer, stroke, pneumonia, and COPD.
