Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
School-age children's diets should be carefully assessed for adequate protein and vitamins A and C. School-age children frequently fail to eat a proper breakfast and have unsupervised intake at school. An increase in B complex vitamins is needed to support heightened metabolic activity of the adolescent, and the pregnant woman has a need to significantly increase iron intake. In-creased energy needs are expected in the adolescent period.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
According to the food guide pyramid, the average adult's diet should include 3 to 5 servings of vegetables per day. According to the food guide pyramid, the average adult's diet should include 2 to 4 servings per day of fruit and 2 to 4 servings per day of grains.
