1. Which vitamin is also known as Niacin?

• A. Vitamin B1
• B. Vitamin B2
• C. Vitamin B3
• D. Vitamin B12

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is Vitamin B3, also known as Niacin. Niacin is essential for energy metabolism and can help improve cholesterol levels. Vitamin B1 is Thiamine, Vitamin B2 is Riboflavin, and Vitamin B12 is Cobalamin. These vitamins have different functions in the body and are not synonymous with Niacin.

2. A client is being taught about following a low-cholesterol diet after coronary artery bypass grafting. Which of the following food choices reflects the client's understanding of these dietary instructions?

• A. Liver
• B. Milk
• C. BEANS
• D. Eggs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choosing beans as a food option indicates that the client understands the low-cholesterol diet instructions. Beans are a good source of fiber and plant-based protein, which can help lower cholesterol levels. On the other hand, liver and eggs are high in cholesterol and should be limited in a low-cholesterol diet. Milk, especially whole milk, can also be high in saturated fats and cholesterol, so it is not the best choice for a low-cholesterol diet.

3. By the age of three, which age-appropriate food skill can a child typically perform?

• A. Using utensils and a napkin
• B. Spearing food with a fork
• C. Measuring liquids
• D. Displaying proper table manners

Correct answer: B

Rationale: By the age of three, a child typically develops the motor skills needed to spear food with a fork. This is a critical milestone in self-feeding as it shows progress in fine motor coordination. Choice 'A' is incorrect because using utensils and a napkin properly is a skill that may take longer to develop and refine. Choice 'C' is not correct as measuring liquids requires a higher level of motor skills and understanding of quantities that a three-year-old child might not possess. Choice 'D' is also incorrect as the proper display of table manners is a complex skill that is typically learned over a longer period and involves social and cultural norms.

4. Which practice is a type of traditional Chinese medicine?

• A. magnet therapy
• B. acupuncture
• C. faith healing
• D. biofeedback

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Acupuncture is a key practice in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to balance energy flow and promote healing. Magnet therapy, faith healing, and biofeedback are not specifically associated with traditional Chinese medicine practices.

5. The IVP reveals that Fe has small renal calculus that can be passed out spontaneously. To increase the chance of passing the stones, you instructed her to force fluids and do which of the following?

• A. Balanced diet C. Strain all urine
• B. Ambulate more D. Bed rest
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Understanding the underlying pathology and therapeutic techniques ensures that nursing care is not only reactive but also preventative, reducing the risk of complications.
