a. My Plate
b. Dietary Reference Intakes

a. My Plate and e. Dietary Guidelines for Americans
Rationale: The nurse should combine the key messages from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans with education that uses the MyPlate icon and its accompanying resources. Together, these guidelines emphasize the crucial point that healthy dietary patterns consumed over time are what positively affect health rather than any impact from a single nutrient, food, or meal. The Dietary Reference Intakes, Recommended Daily Allowance, and Estimated Average Requirements are not recommended to be used a community education session.
