• D. Casual blood glucose 90 mg/dL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A 2-hour glucose tolerance test level of 150 mg/dL is above the normal range and should be reported to the provider as it indicates impaired glucose tolerance. Choice B (Fasting blood glucose 70 mg/dL) is within the normal range. Choice C (Glycosylated hemoglobin 5%) is also within the normal range. Choice D (Casual blood glucose 90 mg/dL) is within the normal range and does not indicate impaired glucose tolerance.

3. Which item is typically fortified with iodine to address iodine deficiency in the population?

• A. Flour
• B. Salt
• C. Canned vegetables
• D. Drinking water

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Iodized salt is the correct answer. Iodine deficiency can lead to thyroid problems, so iodine is added to salt to ensure an adequate intake of this essential nutrient. Flour is often fortified with other nutrients like folic acid, iron, and niacin, but not iodine. Canned vegetables and drinking water are not typically fortified with iodine to address deficiency in the population.
