1. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges state that half of your calories should come from protein.
- A. TRUE
- B. FALSE
- C.
- D.
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The statement is FALSE. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges recommend that 10-35% of daily calories come from protein, not half. The remaining calories should be derived from a combination of carbohydrates and fats to ensure a balanced diet. Choosing option A is incorrect because it misinterprets the recommended percentage for protein intake. Options C and D are left blank as they are not applicable to the question.
2. Each statement is true of water-soluble vitamins, except one. Which is it?
- A. Act as coenzymes
- B. Deficiencies develop rapidly
- C. Daily intake is necessary
- D. Absorbed in the jejunum
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Water-soluble vitamins do not develop deficiencies rapidly because the body does not store them for long periods. They must be obtained through food constantly. Choice A is correct because water-soluble vitamins often act as coenzymes in various metabolic reactions. Choice C is correct as daily intake of water-soluble vitamins is necessary since they are not stored in the body. Choice D is incorrect as water-soluble vitamins are absorbed primarily in the small intestine, particularly in the duodenum and ileum, not the jejunum.
3. The oral cavity is the site of a wide variety of systemic disease manifestations due to:
- A. Rapid cellular turnover
- B. Constant attack by microorganisms
- C. Trauma-intense environment
- D. All of the above
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The oral cavity is indeed the site of various systemic disease manifestations due to multiple factors. Firstly, the rapid cellular turnover in the oral mucosa makes it susceptible to diseases. Secondly, the constant presence of microorganisms in the oral cavity contributes to the development of systemic diseases. Finally, the oral cavity being a trauma-intense environment further increases the risk of systemic manifestations. Therefore, all the provided options - rapid cellular turnover, constant attack by microorganisms, and a trauma-intense environment - play a role in making the oral cavity a site for various systemic diseases. Hence, the correct answer is 'All of the above.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect individually as they each represent only one aspect of why the oral cavity is prone to systemic disease manifestations, whereas the correct answer encompasses all these factors.
4. What is considered fast breathing in a 13-month-old child if the respiratory rate (RR) exceeds which value?
- A. 40 breaths per minute
- B. 50 breaths per minute
- C. 60 breaths per minute
- D. 30 breaths per minute
Correct answer: C
Rationale: In the context of pediatric care, a respiratory rate of more than 60 breaths per minute in a child aged 13 months is considered fast breathing, hence option 'C' is correct. Options 'A', 'B', and 'D' are incorrect as they do not meet the specified criteria for fast breathing in a 13-month-old. Effective nursing care involves comprehensive assessments that address all aspects of a patient's condition, including monitoring respiratory rates, to ensure that interventions are appropriately targeted and outcomes are optimized.
5. Bones continuously lose and gain minerals. This ongoing process is called?
- A. reorganization
- B. reorienting
- C. demineralizing
- D. remodeling
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'remodeling.' Remodeling is the process by which bones continuously lose and gain minerals, maintaining bone strength and integrity over time. 'Reorganization' (choice A), 'reorienting' (choice B), and 'demineralizing' (choice C) do not accurately describe the process of bones continuously losing and gaining minerals.
