Answer to Question 1

C
Homebound older adults may benefit from the Home-Delivered Meals Program. This provides one meal a day that may contribute significantly to nutrient intake. The Food Stamp Program helps people of all ages with low incomes buy nutritious foods. The Congregate Meals Program provides meals for older adults; these meals are served at a community center so it also provides an opportunity for social interaction. The Emergency Food Assistance Program helps provide food for low-income households, including elderly people.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Restrictive diets have the potential to negatively affect quality of life by eliminating personal choice in meals, dulling appetite, and promoting unintentional weight loss. They should only be used when a significant improvement in health can be expected.
