Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The medical history describes the patient's current and ongoing medical issues; this information is helpful because numerous medical problems and their treatments can interfere with food intake or require dietary changes. The medical history generally includes the family medical history as well; this information may reveal genetic susceptibilities for diseases that can potentially be prevented with dietary and lifestyle changes. Many different medications can have detrimental effects on nutrition status, and various components of foods and dietary supplements can interact with medications. Personal and social factors influence food choices as well as a person's ability to manage health and nutrition problems. For example, cultural background or religious beliefs can affect food preferences, whereas financial concerns may restrict access to health care and nutritious foods. A food and nutrition history is a detailed account of a person's dietary practices. It includes information about food intake, lifestyle habits, and other factors that affect food choices, such as food allergies or beliefs about nutrition and health. The procedure often includes an interview about recent food intake and a survey about usual food choices. The food and nutrition history may help the dietitian uncover current or potential nutrition problems or patterns of behavior that contribute to health problems.
