1. The equal sharing of resources is known as _____.

• A. autonomy
• B. ethics
• C. disclosure
• D. distributive justice

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, distributive justice. Distributive justice involves the fair and equitable distribution of resources among all individuals in society. Option A, autonomy, refers to the right of individuals to make their own decisions. Option B, ethics, pertains to moral principles. Option C, disclosure, refers to the act of making information known.

2. Which assessment finding indicates effective treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum?

• A. The client's glucose is within the normal range.
• B. The client ate 80% of their breakfast tray.
• C. There is no protein in the client's urine.
• D. The client's blood pressure is 145/75 mmHg.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Improved appetite and food intake is an indication of effective treatment.

3. Which medical condition is characterized by symptoms such as oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, herpetic ulcerations, Kaposi's sarcoma, xerostomia, and severe periodontal disease?

• A. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
• B. Acute Leukemia
• C. Anorexia Nervosa
• D. Bulimia

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is known for a variety of oral manifestations such as oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, herpetic ulcerations, Kaposi's sarcoma, xerostomia, and severe periodontal disease. These symptoms are not typically associated with acute leukemia, anorexia nervosa, or bulimia. Acute leukemia usually presents with symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are eating disorders, thus their primary symptoms are primarily associated with eating habits and body weight, not oral health.

4. Which food is recommended for a client trying to increase their intake of calcium?

• A. Apples
• B. Yogurt
• C. Chicken
• D. Pasta

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Yogurt is high in calcium, which is essential for bone health.

5. How is the equalization of solute concentration of intracellular fluids (ICFs) and extracellular fluids (ECFs accomplished?

• A. Semipermeable membranes.
• B. Hydration.
• C. Osmotic pressure.
• D. Perspiration.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure within the body equalizes the solute concentration of ICFs and ECFs by shifting small amounts of water in the direction of higher concentration solute. Semipermeable membranes separate one fluid compartment from another and do not directly equalize solute concentrations. Hydration and perspiration are important elements of fluid balance but do not directly achieve the equalization of solute concentrations between ICFs and ECFs, which is primarily regulated by osmotic pressure.
