1. Which of the following conditions is not caused by energy drinks?

• A. Nervousness
• B. Bradycardia
• C. Seizures
• D. Dental caries

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Energy drinks are known for causing a variety of health issues, including nervousness, seizures, and an increased risk of dental caries due to their high sugar content. However, they do not cause bradycardia, which is a slow heart rate. Instead, energy drinks are associated with causing an increased or rapid heart rate, known as tachycardia. Therefore, out of the listed options, bradycardia is the condition not caused by energy drinks.

2. Which of the following is not true about Pure Experimental research?

• A. There is a control group
• B. There is an experimental group
• C. Selection of subjects in the control group is randomized
• D. There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In Pure Experimental research, subjects in the experimental group are typically selected randomly to minimize bias and ensure that the results are attributable to the intervention being studied. Therefore, the statement 'There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group' is not true. This careful selection would introduce bias and compromise the validity of the experimental results. Choices A, B, and C are true for Pure Experimental research as it involves both a control group, an experimental group, and randomization of subject selection in the control group to ensure comparability.

3. A client with diabetes is being taught by a nurse about the dietary source that should provide the greatest percentage of calories. Which of the following statements indicates the client understands the teaching?

• A. "Most of my calories each day should be from fats."?
• B. "I should eat more calories from complex carbohydrates than anything else."?
• C. "Simple sugars are needed more than other calorie sources."?
• D. "Protein should be my main source of calories."?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is '"I should eat more calories from complex carbohydrates than anything else."?' Clients with diabetes should focus on complex carbohydrates as their primary calorie source because they have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to simple sugars or fats. Choice A is incorrect because a high intake of fats can lead to various health issues. Choice C is incorrect because simple sugars can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. Choice D is incorrect as while protein is important, it should not be the main source of calories for someone with diabetes.

4. All of the following are seen in a child with measles. Which one is not?

• A. Reddened eyes
• B. Coryza
• C. Pustule
• D. Cough

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Measles typically presents with symptoms like reddened eyes, coryza (inflammation of the mucous membrane in the nose), and cough. However, pustules are not a common symptom of measles. Pustules are more characteristic of conditions like chickenpox rather than measles. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

5. Which biomolecule is responsible for the storage and transfer of genetic information?

• A. Carbohydrates
• B. Proteins
• C. Lipids
• D. Nucleic acids

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are the biomolecules responsible for storing and transferring genetic information within cells. Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids do not have this specific function. Carbohydrates are mainly used for energy storage, structural support, and cellular communication. Proteins are involved in various cellular functions such as enzymatic reactions, structural support, and signaling. Lipids play roles in energy storage, cell membrane structure, and signaling.
