Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
There are differences between fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins should be consumed daily. The other choices are true about fat-soluble vitamins.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Adults should get about 20 to 35 of their daily calories from fats. The client who consumes about 1800 calories per day needs approximately 360 to 630 calories per day from fat. The calculation is as follows: (1800 calories x 0.20 = 360 calories to 1800 x 0.35 = 630).
