Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Safe vegetables that are low in potassium include cabbage, lettuce, and raw onions. The cooked spinach, yams, and cooked mushrooms are high in potassium and should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Foods that are rich in vitamin B12 are those of animal origin and fortified cereals. A ground steak patty would be good choice to increase intake of vitamin B12. Fruits, vegetables, and grains will not supply significant amounts of vitamin B12.
