1. What are the contraindications for using MI Paste?

A. Children under six
B. Individuals with a milk casein allergy
C. Pregnant women
D. Both A and B

Correct answer: D

Rationale: MI Paste is contraindicated in children under six and in individuals with a milk casein allergy. The reason is that MI Paste contains casein phosphopeptide, which is derived from milk. Therefore, it may cause allergic reactions in those who are sensitive to milk proteins. Pregnant women (Choice C) are not contraindicated for using MI Paste unless they have a known allergy to milk casein. Hence, the correct answer is 'D: Both A and B'.

2. The nurse notes that the fall might also cause a possible head injury. The patient will be observed for signs of increased intracranial pressure which include:

A. Narrowing of the pulse pressure
B. Vomiting
C. Periorbital edema
D. A positive Kernig's sign

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Periorbital edema is a sign of increased intracranial pressure. It is caused by fluid accumulation around the eyes due to compromised drainage. Narrowing of the pulse pressure is more indicative of shock than increased intracranial pressure. While vomiting can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure, it is not as specific as periorbital edema. A positive Kernig's sign is associated with meningitis, not increased intracranial pressure.

3. Mr. Bradley has been advised to limit his dairy product intake. What principle regarding fluid intake should be followed?

A. Gelatin, soups, fruit ices, and frozen fruit bars contribute to your fluid intake
B. Drink milk in moderation
C. Increase fiber intake
D. Limit protein intake

Correct answer: A

Rationale: For patients with kidney disease, it's important to manage fluid intake from all sources, including foods like gelatin and soups, which can contribute to fluid overload.

4. A client with celiac disease should avoid which of the following?

A. Quinoa
B. Barley
C. Rice
D. Oats

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Barley. Barley contains gluten, which is harmful to individuals with celiac disease. Gluten triggers an immune response in people with celiac disease, damaging the lining of the small intestine. Choices A, C, and D (Quinoa, Rice, and Oats) are gluten-free and safe for individuals with celiac disease to consume.

5. A client is being taught by a nurse about adding more fiber to the diet. Which of the following foods has the highest fiber content?

A. 1 cup cooked sweet potato
B. 1 slice rye toast
C. 1 cup raw watermelon
D. 1 oz cashews

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 1 oz of cashews. Cashews have a higher fiber content compared to sweet potato, rye toast, and watermelon. While sweet potatoes and rye toast contain fiber, cashews have a higher concentration, making them a better choice for increasing fiber intake. Watermelon, on the other hand, is low in fiber compared to the other options provided.
