Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Factors that increase the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency include gastric resection, use of medications that suppress gastric acid secretion, and gastric infection with H. pylori.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich has some fat from the peanuts, but it is not saturated fat so it is a good choice for this client. Bacon has saturated fat (solid at room temperature) as does the cheese. Beef has saturated fat and refried beans are made with lard, another saturated fat.
