1. When is additional Vitamin C not required?
- A. Infancy
- B. Young adulthood
- C. Childhood
- D. Pregnancy
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Vitamin C requirements are increased during infancy, childhood, and pregnancy due to growth and development. However, during young adulthood, the body generally requires a consistent amount of Vitamin C as it is not undergoing rapid growth or physiological changes that necessitate an increase in Vitamin C intake.
2. Which of the following statements made by a client diagnosed with human immunodefiency virus (HIV) would require further teaching?
- A. “I will have to be careful and avoid crowds.”
- B. “I will take prescribed medications.”
- C. “I will have to take medications for the rest of my life.”

3. A nurse is preparing to administer a medication through a nasogastric (NG) tube. What action should the nurse take first?
- A. Flush the NG tube with 60 mL of water
- B. Verify tube placement
- C. Crush the medications and dissolve them in water
- D. Administer all medications together
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Verifying tube placement is the priority before administering any medications through a nasogastric tube. This step ensures that the tube is correctly positioned in the stomach to prevent complications such as aspiration. Flushing the tube with water, crushing medications, or administering them together should only be done after confirming the correct placement of the NG tube. Therefore, option B is the correct first action to take in this scenario.

- A. Wear sunglasses to filter ultraviolet (UV) light
- B. Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use
- C. Wash your hands before touching your eyelids
- D. All of The Above
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Wearing sunglasses, washing hands before touching eyelids, and wearing eye protection when working with fluids are important health promotion activities for vision.
5. What is a major disadvantage of cross-sectional research?
- A. Age-related changes cannot be examined.
- B. Participants often drop out before the study is over.
- C. Factors affecting individual development cannot be explored.
- D. Practice effects often cause biased findings.
Correct answer: C
Rationale: One major disadvantage of cross-sectional research is that factors affecting individual development cannot be explored thoroughly. Cross-sectional research involves comparing different groups of people at one specific point in time, and does not allow for tracking individual changes over time. This limitation means that the unique influences and trajectories of individual development may be overlooked in cross-sectional studies. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A is not a major disadvantage of cross-sectional research as age-related changes can still be compared across different groups in this type of study. Choice B, while a potential issue in any study, is not specific to cross-sectional research. Choice D refers to a different type of bias caused by repeated testing rather than a major disadvantage of cross-sectional research.
