Answer to Question 1

C
Before 1970, most nutritional problems were attributed to nutrient deficiency. Later on, research showed the association between excessive lipid intakes and chronic disease. Low-carbohydrate diets gained popularity for weight loss after 1970 . Prevention of infectious disease is not a direct nutritional concern.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse who is going to do a presentation needs to know about the group, including such things as ages, cultural considerations, community needs. The learning needs of a group can be determined, but one cannot know dietary needs of participants. Expense reimbursement and equipment availability are relevant, but they will not determine the content of the presentation.
