1. A multivitamin supplement containing folic acid is recommended for all young women because of the number of unintentional pregnancies in women 15 to 24 years old.

• A. Both the statement and the reason are correct and related
• B. Both the statement and the reason are correct but are not related
• C. The statement is correct, but the reason is not correct
• D. The statement is not correct, but the reason is correct

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Both the statement and the reason are correct and related. A multivitamin with folic acid is recommended for young women due to the high incidence of unplanned pregnancies in this age group.

2. Can a person with Celiac disease eat Poptarts that contain gluten?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only in small quantities
• D. Only if they are gluten-free Poptarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A person with Celiac disease cannot consume Poptarts that contain gluten because gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, triggering an autoimmune response in individuals with Celiac disease and damaging their small intestine. Even small quantities of gluten can lead to this harmful response, making choices 'A' and 'C' incorrect. While gluten-free Poptarts may be suitable for individuals with Celiac disease, regular Poptarts containing gluten are not safe for consumption by them, rendering choice 'D' incorrect as well.

3. What kinds of foods do people who live in food deserts typically lack?

• A. fresh fruits and vegetables
• B. energy-dense foods
• C. beef or pork products
• D. grains and cereals

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: Fresh fruits and vegetables are often unavailable in food deserts, where access to nutritious, perishable foods is limited. Choice B, energy-dense foods, is incorrect because these are more likely to be available in food deserts, contributing to health issues. Choice C, beef or pork products, is incorrect as the focus is on the lack of fresh produce. Choice D, grains and cereals, is incorrect as these are staple foods that are more commonly found even in areas classified as food deserts.

• D. The first statement is false; the second is true.

Correct answer: B

While Healthy People (HP 2020) has contributed to a reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease, stroke, and some cancers, it did not result in decreased dental caries in children aged 2 to 4 years and adults aged 53 to 44 years. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect because the second statement is false. Choice C is incorrect as the first statement is also false. Choice D is incorrect as the second statement is false.
