• A. Thiamine C. Niacin
• B. Vitamin C D. Vitamin A
• C.

2. A client reports having difficulty losing weight. Which of the following responses by the nurse is appropriate?

• A. Eat small portions of high-calorie foods first.
• B. Set a goal, and you will be able to attain it.
• C. It is helpful to self-monitor your eating.
• D. Taste food while cooking to help curb your appetite.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'It is helpful to self-monitor your eating.' Self-monitoring dietary intake is an evidence-based strategy that enhances awareness and accountability, making it an effective approach for weight management. Choice A is incorrect as focusing on high-calorie foods first may not be the most effective strategy for weight loss. Choice B is too general and lacks actionable advice. Choice D, tasting food while cooking, does not directly address the client's difficulty in losing weight and is not a proven method for weight management.

3. Being in contact with reality and the environment is a function of the:

• A. conscience
• B. ego
• C. id
• D. super ego

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Being in contact with reality and the environment is a function of the ego. The ego is responsible for mediating between the id's basic desires, the superego's idealistic standards, and the real world. The conscience (not listed as a choice) is related to feelings of guilt or moral responsibility. The id represents primal instincts, and the superego represents the internalized ideals and moral standards.

• A. A) Follows a vegan diet, B) More
• B. B) Smokes cigarettes, B) More
• C. A) Follows a vegan diet, C) The same
• D. B) Smokes cigarettes, C) The same

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B) Smokes cigarettes, More. Smoking increases the need for vitamin C as it can deplete the body's vitamin C levels. Vegan diets, on the other hand, require more vitamin C for optimal absorption due to the absence of heme iron, which enhances non-heme iron absorption. Choices A and C are incorrect because vegan diets require more vitamin C, while smoking increases the need for vitamin C.
