The answer is the first one: estimating the nutrient needs of persons with medical problems.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Estimating the nutrient needs of persons with medical problems: The DRIs are designed for healthy individuals and are not intended to address the specific nutrient needs of individuals with medical conditions. Therefore, this option is incorrect in the context of appropriate use of DRIs.

  2. Estimating the adequacy of an individual's nutrient intake: DRIs can be used to assess whether an individual's nutrient intake meets the recommended levels for maintaining health, making this an appropriate use.

  3. Planning diets for school children: DRIs provide guidelines for nutrient intake that can be used to plan balanced diets for various populations, including school children, so this is an appropriate use.

  4. Planning diets for military personnel: Similar to school children, DRIs can be used to ensure that military personnel receive adequate nutrition, making this an appropriate use.

  5. Ensuring that minimum nutrient requirements are met: DRIs are specifically designed to help ensure that individuals meet their minimum nutrient requirements, so this is an appropriate use.

In summary, the DRIs are not intended for estimating the nutrient needs of individuals with medical problems, which is why this option is the exception.
