Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Asian cultures believe in a balance between yin and yang. Pregnancy is considered a yang condition, so women eat yin foods during their pregnancy. These are most fruits and vegetables, seaweed, cold drinks, juices, and rice water.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5
Rationale: Children who live in low-income housing and experience poverty are more likely to be exposed to lead in their environment. Children who do not eat enough foods with calcium, iron, and zinc experience greater complications from lead exposure than those children who receive adequate amounts of these nutrients. It is important for children to consume enough milk and dairy products each day to meet their need for calcium. Children who develop pica are often iron deficient. Adequate protein intake is important because foods with high levels of protein contain zinc. Children need to eat 23 servings of fruits and vegetables each day to receive enough vitamin C to assist with the absorption of iron.
