Full Question:
The DRIs are for healthy people; whereas, a child who is severely malnourished has significantly higher nutrition needs than the DRI would account for. Which of the micronutrients does this one-day menu provide approximately 150% of the DRI for?
A. Magnesium
B. Calcium
C. Vitamin A (RAE)
D. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Vitamin A (RAE)
Explanation:
STEP 1
For children ages 4 to 8 years , the daily required intake (DRI) is 400 μg/day of Retinol Activity Equivalents (RAE), which is 1,333 international units (IU); the RDA for both boys and girls ages 9 to 13 years is 600 μg/day of RAE, which is equivalent to 2,000 IU.
The special diet (please see the attachment for same) proposes:
A Breakfast and dinner each containing 92grams of Plumpynut which also contains 840μg of RAE.
The lunch is made up of F-10 Therapeutic Milk (114grams) which contains 912μg of RAE.
STEP 2
Compute the total RAE consumed.
Breakfast and Dinner =
840μg x2 = 1,680μg
Lunch = 912μg
Total RAE taken =
1,680 + 912 = 2,592μg
This is over 150% of the DRI

True, antibiotics are not effective against a virus. They are only effective against diseases caused by bacteria, which is why it is important to determine the cause of an infection before taking antibiotics. Hope this helps :)
