Question

select the correct answer
for which of these people would a medical professional most likely recommend dietary supplements?
○ a. cassandra is entering a beauty pageant and wants to lose weight quickly
○ b. chris gets easily distracted and finds it hard to concentrate on a task
○ c. diane has a hard time digesting milk and other dairy products

Explanation:

• Option A: Losing weight quickly for a beauty pageant is not a medical - based reason for dietary supplements. Quick - weight - loss methods can be unhealthy and are not typically recommended by medical professionals in the form of supplements.
• Option B: Difficulty concentrating and being easily distracted is more likely to be addressed through non - supplement methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, lifestyle changes (e.g., better sleep, reduced stress), or in some cases, prescription medications (if there is an underlying medical condition like ADHD), rather than dietary supplements.
• Option C: If Diane has a hard time digesting milk and other dairy products (lactose intolerance), she may be at risk of calcium and vitamin D deficiency (since dairy is a common source of these nutrients). A medical professional may recommend dietary supplements (such as calcium and vitamin D supplements) to ensure she gets these essential nutrients.

Answer:

C. Diane has a hard time digesting milk and other dairy products
