Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
An example of a whole grain is Cheerios. The other cereals are made from refined grains.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The purpose of a nutritional screening is to gather relevant data quickly to determine if a complete assessment should be done. Questions that ask about potential problem areas, like chewing or swallowing, elicit more relevant information than questions about the general state of health or well-being, grocery shopping, or the last meal eaten. That data would be gathered as part of a thorough assessment.
