For a client who is missing meals because of poor planning or is too busy to eat,
emotional health can be affected by _____, which can cause confusion or
anxiety.
a. low blood sugar levels
b. high blood sugar levels
c. high blood pressure
d. extremely low blood pressure - ANS: A Poor eating habits affect emotional
health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to decrease, which can
cause anxiety or confusion or make difficult to control emotions. Late night
binges on snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would
have a less direct effect on emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the
day is likely to maintain more constant blood sugar levels, which would actually
have a positive effect on emotional health. Excessive caffeine consumption may
contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated coffee is not considered
excessive.

individuals. It addresses environmental and social issues that affect health
outcomes. Low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children is

,protein and vitamin supplements do not necessarily have an adverse effect on
nutritional health and so are less likely to be addressed.
An example of community support for health promotion is
a. teaching a young mother skills in safe food preparation.
b. watching a television documentary about industry errors in food processing.
c. labeling fresh poultry packages with information about proper food storage.
d. being aware that Salmonella can be transmitted because of inadequate food
preparation. - ANS: C Food labeling information is an example of community
support because it is a regulatory measure that supports new health-promoting
behaviors within a social context. Teaching, watching television, and awareness

or environmental change
An example of a technique for health promotion is
a. exercising five times a week.
b. local supermarkets' expanding the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables.
c. teaching a teenager how to choose healthier foods at fast-food restaurants.
d. information about the relationship of dietary intake and diet-related disorders.
- ANS: C Health promotion consists of strategies that are designed to improve
the health of individuals, families, groups, and communities, such as teaching a
teenager how to choose healthier fast foods. Exercising regularly contributes to
wellness, but it is not bringing about a change in health unless this is a change in
behavior. Stocking a wider availability of fresh produce does not promote
health, unless the supermarket uses specific strategies to encourage
consumption. Information about the relationship between nutrients and disease
is simply information unless it is used to promote behavior change.

standards. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPlate are separate
documents from Healthy People 2020 and focus on specific advice and
guidelines for healthy eating.

a. primary treatment.
b. primary prevention.
c. secondary prevention.
d. tertiary prevention - ANS: B Action to prevent the development of type 2
diabetes is considered primary prevention. Secondary prevention involves early

developed. "Primary treatment" is not a recognized term.
