3) Excessive intake of one nutrient can interfere with others
4) Nutrition is the study of the relationship of humans to food

Answer 1

The statement that would indicate a need for nutritional instruction is 'Milk is the perfect food which contains all essential nutrients.' Nutritional instruction is necessary to explain the importance of a balanced diet and provide information on other food sources of essential nutrients. The correct answer is options 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that would indicate a need for nutritional instruction is 2) Milk is the perfect food which contains all essential nutrients.

This statement is incorrect because while milk is a good source of nutrients, it does not contain all essential nutrients. A balanced diet that includes a variety of foods from different food groups is necessary to obtain all essential nutrients.

Nutritional instruction would help the client understand the importance of a balanced diet and provide information on other food sources that can provide essential nutrients that may be lacking in their current diet.
