The nurse is gathering information for a presentation to a group of elementary school children. Which of the following sources will the nurse want to consult while preparing for the session?
1. Dietary Guidelines for Americans
2. MyPyramid for Children
3. Nutrition Facts food labels
4. Healthy People 2010

Rationale: MyPyramid for Children has many resources that the nurse can easily use with children of varying ages. The Dietary Guidelines and Healthy People 2010 are broad resources for health professionals who are planning for population groups. Nutrition Facts may be useful with older children, but are not considered a resource useful for planning a presentation.
