Vulnerable groups for undernutrition are infants, children, pregnant
| | | | | | | |
women, recent immigrants, persons with low incomes, hospitalized

| | | | | | | | | |
metabolic demands. |

| | | | | | | | |
demands.

| | | | | | | | |
demands.

| | | | | | |
The nurse is providing nutrition information to the mother of a 1-year-
| | | | | | | | | | |

| |
,The recommended dietary allowances for an infant are the same as for
| | | | | | | | | | | |

this age group.
| |

| | | | | | | | | | |
children younger than 2 years of age should not drink skim or low-fat
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
milk or be placed on low-fat diets. Fats (calories and essential fatty

acids) are required for proper growth and central nervous system
| | | | | | | | | |
development.

| | | | | | | | | |
statements are not correct. | | |
