1. Clients with type 2 diabetes are most likely to achieve metabolic control if they:

A. lose weight
B. use self-monitoring of blood glucose
C. eliminate all dietary sugars
D. eat three regular meals daily

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Weight loss improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control, making it a key strategy in managing type 2 diabetes.

2. Which foods should be avoided on a low-potassium diet? (SATA)

A. Bananas
B. A, C
C. Sweet potatoes
D. Frozen corn

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Bananas, sweet potatoes, and orange juice are high in potassium.

3. Each statement is true of fat-soluble vitamins, except one. Which is the exception?

A. Fairly stable to heat, such as during cooking
B. Contain carbon
C. Stored in the pancreas
D. Absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fat-soluble vitamins are not stored in the pancreas; they are stored in the liver and fatty tissues. Choice A is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are fairly stable to heat. Choice B is also correct as fat-soluble vitamins contain carbon. Choice D is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food.

4. A client with gastroesophageal reflux disease is being taught by a nurse about managing the illness. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Limit fluid intake not related to meals.
B. Chew on mint leaves to relieve indigestion.
C. Avoid eating within 3 hours of bedtime.
D. Season foods with black pepper.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct recommendation for managing gastroesophageal reflux disease is to avoid eating within 3 hours of bedtime. This helps prevent acid reflux by allowing food to digest before lying down. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Limiting fluid intake not related to meals is not a standard recommendation for managing GERD. Chewing on mint leaves may worsen symptoms as mint can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up. Seasoning foods with black pepper does not specifically help manage GERD.

5. Each statement is true, except one. Which is the exception?

A. Infant formulas should be discontinued at approximately 1 year of age
B. Low-fat milk is not recommended for children younger than 2 years
C. Special toddler formulas are available but are unnecessary
D. Vitamin D-fortified whole milk should not be provided until 2 years

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Vitamin D-fortified whole milk should be provided starting at age 1 after discontinuing breast feeding or infant formulas, not at 2 years. Providing whole milk at age 2 is appropriate. Choices A, B, and C are correct statements: infant formulas are typically discontinued around 1 year of age, low-fat milk is not recommended for children under 2 years, and special toddler formulas are unnecessary.
