Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
According to NHANES data from 2007 to 2008, the mean intake of several micronutrients is deficient in the diets of older adultsnamely, vitamins A, D, and E; calcium; magnesium; and potassium. Conversely, their intake of sodium is too high.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
MyPlate for Older Adults encourages nutrient-dense food with a decrease in empty calorie foods that are high in solid fats or added sugar. The meal of tuna, whole wheat bread, apple, and milk is the better choice because it offers the more nutrient-dense meal. The other meal choices contain items that are high in solid fats and/or added sugar.
