1. In managing Type 2 diabetes, what is the most important dietary change?

• A. Increase carbohydrate intake
• B. Increase fiber intake
• C. Increase protein intake
• D. Reduce fat intake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Increasing fiber intake can help regulate blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

2. What is the best snack choice for a preschool-age child?

• A. Fruit snacks
• B. Mini wheat bagel with peanut butter
• C. White toast with jelly
• D. Sports drink

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The best snack choice for a preschool-age child is a mini wheat bagel with peanut butter as it provides a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. Fruit snacks, although they contain some fruit flavor, are often high in added sugars and lack essential nutrients. White toast with jelly may provide quick energy but lacks protein and healthy fats, which are important for a balanced snack choice. Sports drinks are typically high in sugar and unnecessary for a preschool-age child's snack, as they are designed for rehydration during intense physical activity, not as a regular snack option.

3. What term is used to refer to the beliefs, ideals, and values that direct an organization and give it a sense of purpose?

• A. Philosophy
• B. Mission
• C. Vision
• D. Goals and Objectives

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct term for the beliefs, ideals, and values that direct an organization and provide it with a sense of purpose is 'Vision'. A Vision statement outlines the organization's aspirations and goals for the future. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect in this context. 'Philosophy' refers to a system of beliefs or principles, 'Mission' relates to the organization's purpose and primary objectives, and 'Goals and Objectives' are the specific targets set to accomplish the Vision.

4. Each of the following is a function of vitamin A, except one. Which is the exception?

• A. Prevention of night blindness
• B. Growth of soft tissues and bone
• C. Maintenance of more than 200 genes
• D. Integrity of body openings and their linings

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Maintenance of more than 200 genes is not a function of vitamin A; instead, it is a function of Vitamin D. Vitamin A plays a crucial role in the prevention of night blindness by aiding in the production of the visual pigment rhodopsin. It also supports the growth of soft tissues and bone, as well as the integrity of body openings and their linings. Choice C is incorrect because the maintenance of genes is primarily associated with Vitamin D, not Vitamin A.

5. Nurse Joel and Ana are helping a 16-year-old Nursing Student in a case filed against the student for frustrated homicide. Nurse Joel and Ana are aware of the different circumstances of crimes. They are correct in identifying which of the following circumstances will be best applied in this case?

• A. Justifying
• B. Aggravating
• C. Mitigating
• D. Exempting

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In cases of frustrated homicide, the circumstance of 'justifying' is the most applicable. Justifying circumstances are those that exempt the individual from criminal liability because the act is considered morally right or justified under the circumstances. Aggravating circumstances would worsen the offense, mitigating circumstances would lessen the penalty, and exempting circumstances would completely excuse the individual from liability, none of which are suitable in a case of frustrated homicide.
