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)

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
