Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. The further down the list an item appears, the less of that ingredient is in the product.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: An unplanned weight loss for a client of 5 or more over the course of 1 month, or 10 or more over the course of 6 months, is significant and requires interventions. The client, who weighed 155 pounds and lost 14 pounds during 6 months, had a weight loss of 9. The client, who weighed 200 pounds and lost 9 pounds during the last month, had a weight loss of 4.5. The client, who weighed 111 pounds and lost 5 pounds in the last month, had a weight loss of 4.5. The client, who weighed 135 pounds and lost 14 pounds during the last 6 months, had a weight loss of 10.4. This client's weight loss is significant and would require immediate intervention.
