Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Trans fats are created when polyunsaturated fats are hydrogenated; therefore they are present when hydrogenated fats are used in the cooking process. Donuts are fried, often in partially hydrogenated fats, so they should be avoided. Eggs, fish, and pork are not significant sources of trans fats.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The client's weight is divided by 2.2 to determine the weight in kilograms. The kilograms is then multiplied by 0.8 to determine the protein RDA, thus 130  2.2 = 59; 59  0.8 = 47.2.
