Answer to Question 1

D
Nonessential nutrients can be made by the body. Essential nutrients cannot be made by the body and must be consumed. The terms complete and incomplete refer to proteins. Complete proteins contain all the essential amino acids; incomplete proteins are lacking one or more essential amino acids.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Risk begins at more than one drink daily for women and more than two drinks daily for men. The other answers are incorrect because Mrs. S and Mr. Z do not fit the criteria for being at nutritional risk due to alcohol consumption.
