1. How long can Vitamin A be stored in the liver for at least?

• A. 1 month.
• B. 6 months.
• C. 1 year.
• D. 18 months.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Vitamin A can be stored in the liver to meet basic needs for at least 1 year. This storage capacity allows the body to have a reserve of Vitamin A to sustain its needs over an extended period. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they underestimate the storage capacity of Vitamin A in the liver, which can last longer than these durations.

2. A client taking antibiotics develops diarrhea. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend to include in the client’s diet?

• A. Whole wheat bread
• B. Fresh orange sections
• C. Ice cream
• D. Yogurt

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Yogurt is the correct answer because it contains probiotics that can help restore normal gut flora and reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Whole wheat bread (Choice A) may worsen diarrhea due to its high fiber content. Fresh orange sections (Choice B) are acidic and may irritate the digestive system further. Ice cream (Choice C) is high in sugar and fat, which can exacerbate diarrhea.

3. Which of the following is not correct?

• A. energy density is a comparison of energy (kcals) content to the weight of food
• B. if a food product contains a 15% daily value of calcium, that product is said to be a low source of calcium
• C. MyPlate illustrates the 5 food groups
• D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A product with 15% Daily Value (DV) of calcium is considered a good source, not a low source. Typically, anything 10-19% DV is considered a good source.

4. A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who has a new diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Which of the following foods or beverages should the nurse recommend to minimize heartburn?

• A. Orange juice
• B. Decaffeinated coffee
• C. Peppermint
• D. Potatoes

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Potatoes are bland and less likely to relax the lower esophageal sphincter, making them a suitable choice to minimize heartburn in clients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Orange juice and peppermint are acidic and can exacerbate GERD symptoms, while coffee, even decaffeinated, can stimulate acid production and worsen heartburn.

5. During times of staff and financial shortage, which method is the best and most effective?

• A. Functional Method
• B. Primary Nursing
• C. Team Nursing
• D. Modular Method

Correct answer: D

Rationale: During times of staff and financial shortage, the Modular Method is considered the best and most effective. This method allows for flexibility and adaptability in assigning tasks and responsibilities, making it easier to cope with limited resources. Functional Method (Choice A) focuses on the division of labor based on each staff member's skills, which may not be the most efficient during shortages. Primary Nursing (Choice B) and Team Nursing (Choice C) may require a more significant number of staff, making them less suitable during shortages.
