Explanation

Answer: B - An effective nutrition screening program is based on the principles of sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity helps ensure that a nutrition screening program picks up individuals at nutritional risk, while specificity helps to exclude individuals not at nutritional risk. Nutrition screening programs may use different types of tools to collect dietary information, and are used in populations of all ages, not just children.
