Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The MyPlate 1200-calorie diet recommends the following: 4 oz grains, 1.5 cups vegetables, 1 cup fruit, 2 cups milk, 3 oz protein, and 3 teaspoon oil. The menu of baked chicken breast, strawberries, broccoli, and rice pilaf fits the recommendations the best.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Chocolate should be limited in the diet of clients who have had calcium oxalate stones since it has a high oxylate content. Dairy products such as milk, ice cream, and yogurt bind to oxylate in the intestine and prevent its absorption. Oranges and broccoli have high potassium content but do not affect calcium oxalate calculi formation.
