• B. The need for iron decreases with age because older female clients carry oxygen more efficiently.

• D. The need for iron decreases with age because older female clients exercise more.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Older adult female clients need less iron than younger adult female clients because as women go through menopause, they no longer lose blood through menstruation, leading to a reduced need for iron. Choice A is incorrect because producing more red blood cells does not directly correlate with needing less iron. Choice B is incorrect as carrying oxygen more efficiently does not necessarily decrease the need for iron. Choice D is incorrect as exercising more does not explain the decreased need for iron in older adult female clients.

4. A nurse at a provider's office is providing teaching to a client who is taking chemotherapy and losing weight. Which of the following should the nurse recommend to increase calorie and protein intake? (Select one that does not apply.)

• A. Top yogurt with fruits.
• B. Add cream to soups.
• C. Use milk instead of water in recipes.
• D. Increase fluids during meals.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct recommendation to increase calorie and protein intake for a client taking chemotherapy and losing weight is to add cream to soups (choice B), as it provides additional calories and proteins. Using milk instead of water in recipes (choice C) can also increase the calorie and protein content. Topping yogurt with fruits (choice A) can be a healthy choice but may not significantly increase calorie and protein intake. Increasing fluids during meals (choice D) may fill up the stomach, potentially reducing the intake of solid foods, which is not ideal when trying to increase calorie and protein consumption.

5. A nurse is teaching a client about preparing low-fat meals. The nurse should include that which of the following oils contains saturated fat?

• A. Corn
• B. Olive
• C. Canola
• D. Coconut

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Coconut oil contains a high amount of saturated fat, which can increase LDL cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. Olive, corn, and canola oils are primarily unsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy fats. Olive oil, in particular, is rich in monounsaturated fats, while corn and canola oils are good sources of polyunsaturated fats. Therefore, the correct answer is Coconut because it contains saturated fat, unlike the other options.
