• A. The lower lip
• B. The outer surface
• C. The upper tip
• D. The inside surface

2. During the later stages of chronic kidney disease, what is the recommended protein intake in grams per kilogram of body weight per day?

• A. 0.6 to 0.75
• B. 1.2 to 1.55
• C. 1.0 to 1.2
• D. 0.8 to 1.0

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the later stages of chronic kidney disease, the recommended protein intake is typically restricted to 0.6 to 0.75 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. This lower protein intake helps reduce the workload on the kidneys, as excessive protein can be challenging for the kidneys to process. Choice B (1.2 to 1.55) is incorrect as it suggests a higher protein intake, which is not recommended for individuals with advanced kidney disease. Choices C (1.0 to 1.2) and D (0.8 to 1.0) also advocate for protein intakes higher than what is typically advised for individuals in later stages of chronic kidney disease.

3. For individuals with lactose intolerance, which of the following foods should be avoided?

• A. Eggs
• B. Milk
• C. Almonds
• D. Beef

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Individuals with lactose intolerance lack the enzyme lactase needed to break down lactose. Milk contains lactose, a sugar found in dairy products, and should be avoided by individuals with lactose intolerance. Choices A, C, and D are not sources of lactose and are generally well-tolerated by individuals with lactose intolerance.
