1. A client with stomatitis is receiving teaching from a nurse. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further teaching?

A. "I will drink liquids through a straw."?
B. "I will season foods with dried spices before cooking."?
C. "I will rinse my mouth with baking soda and water frequently."?
D. "I will eat frozen bananas as a snack."?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is, "I will rinse my mouth with baking soda and water frequently."? Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous lining in the mouth, and rinsing with baking soda and water can be too abrasive and further irritate the condition. Choices A, B, and D are appropriate self-care measures for a client with stomatitis and do not indicate a need for further teaching.

2. Which monosaccharide is the most sweet?

A. Glucose
B. Dextrose
C. Fructose
D. Sucrose

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fructose is the sweetest of the monosaccharides. Note that glucose and dextrose are the same, and sucrose is a disaccharide, not a monosaccharide.

3. Patients with congestive heart failure need to restrict their intake of:

A. fiber
B. sodium
C. cholesterol
D. saturated fat

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Patients with congestive heart failure need to restrict their intake of sodium. This restriction is crucial to prevent fluid retention, which can exacerbate the condition. While fiber is generally beneficial for heart health, sodium restriction is more critical in this scenario. Cholesterol and saturated fat intake should also be monitored, but sodium restriction takes precedence due to its direct impact on fluid balance.

4. What dietary strategy would most likely be used as part of lifestyle management to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease?

A. Avoid foods that contain polyunsaturated fat
B. Limit saturated fat to less than 10 percent of total calories
C. Limit alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men
D. Avoid consumption of fish and shellfish

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Limiting alcohol intake is part of a strategy to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by avoiding the negative cardiovascular effects associated with excessive alcohol consumption.
