Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Nutrient deficiencies may occur from impaired GI absorption or increasing urinary excretion. Malnutrition may also occur from poor intake related to dietary restrictions, anorexia, alternations in taste, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, depression, or anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The current recommendation for adult males is 17 grams of linoleic acid and 1.6 grams of linolenic acid per day, or a combination of the two equaling about 10 of calories per day. These are fatty acids that are present in foods that contain fats.
