Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Cross-sectional and prospective epidemiologic studies show that whole-grain intake is associated with lower risk of obesity and weight gain. Fourteen cross-sectional studies show that a daily intake of approximately three servings of whole grains is associated with lower BMI in adults. Studies have also shown that those who consumed more whole grains consistently weigh less.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: A client with a BMI of < 20 is considered underweight, so the client is has a nutrient deficit. There is nothing to conclude that the client has a knowledge or fluid volume deficit, merely because the client is underweight. Impaired metabolism is not an accepted NANDA diagnosis.
