Answer to Question 1

400 grams
Rationale: Diabetic clients need to receive 50 of their kilocalories from carbohydrates. This client needs 3,200 kilocalories each day. Fifty percent of 3,200 is 1,600 kilocalories each day from carbohydrates. There are 4 kilocalories in each gram of carbohydrate. This means that the client needs 400 grams of carbohydrates each day.

Answer to Question 2

A
Middle-aged adults can help maintain their lean body mass and minimize increases in body fat by exercising regularly and including strength training. Stress reduction may help with other aspects of health, but not with maintaining lean body mass and controlling body fat. Adequate amounts of high-quality protein will not maintain lean body mass without regular exercise. Decreasing energy intake with help prevent increases in body fat, but will not help maintain lean body mass.
