Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Proper warm-up prior to exercise is considered by exercise physiologists as a way to avoid muscular injury. The option deciding what is best for ourselves, although true, does little to help the student nurse adopt a healthier habit. The other options do nothing to help the student nurse adopt a healthier habit.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The 2010 MyPlate recommends protein to be the smallest part of the plate, switching to fat free or low fat (1) milk, make at least half your plate vegetables and fruits, make at least half your grains whole grain, avoid oversize portions, look for lower sodium soup, bread, and frozen meals, and drink water instead of sugary drinks.
