B Iron is required for muscle development. Adolescent boys' diets may be inadequate in total kilocalories, protein, iron, folic acid, B vitamins, and iodine.
C B-complex vitamins are needed to support heightened metabolic activity. The need for vitamin B is not decreased during the adolescent period.
D Energy and caloric needs are increased to meet the greater metabolic demands of growth during the adolescent period.

Answer to Question 2

B
The diagnosis of pre-hypertension in adults is made when an average of two or more diastolic readings on at least two subsequent visits is between 80 and 89 mm Hg or when the average of multiple systolic blood pressures on two or more subsequent visits is between 120 and 139 mm Hg. Hypertension is noted with diastolic readings greater than 90 mm Hg and systolic readings greater than 140 mm Hg. According to the newest guidelines, this client's blood pressure reading (130/84) would fall into the pre-hypertension category.
Normal is less than or equal to 120/80; this is a normal blood pressure reading.
