Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adolescent who works at Burger King is at nutrition risk due to the high likelihood of consuming a diet with excessive amounts of saturated fat, sodium, and calories. Working at a fast-food restaurant increases the likelihood of consuming fast-food items frequently, which can have long-term negative effects on health. The other choices do not necessarily indicate nutrition risk. The vegetarian adolescent is likely obtaining necessary nutrients from soymilk and other plant-based foods. The Southeast Asian girl's daily consumption of rice may be a cultural norm and does not necessarily indicate poor nutrition status. The African American's sports shake may be a healthy option if it contains necessary nutrients and does not contain excessive amounts of added sugar.
