• A. Baked ham
• B. Processed cheese
• C. Broiled salmon
• D. Canned potato soup

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Broiled salmon is a heart-healthy food due to its high omega-3 fatty acid content, which helps reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular health. Choices A, B, and D are not recommended for a heart-healthy diet. Baked ham and processed cheese are high in saturated fats and sodium, which can be detrimental to cardiovascular health. Canned potato soup may contain high levels of sodium and preservatives, making it less suitable for a heart-healthy diet.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, glycated hemoglobin level. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, providing a long-term picture of glucose control. Choice A, the glucose tolerance test, measures how well your body processes glucose but is not specifically for long-term monitoring. Choice C, self-monitoring of blood glucose, involves daily testing by individuals, providing immediate rather than long-term information. Choice D, 24-hour urinary glucose excretion, measures the amount of glucose excreted in the urine over 24 hours and is not typically used for long-term monitoring of blood glucose control.
