1. What type of debridement involves proteolytic enzymes?

• A. Interventional C. Surgical
• B. Mechanical D. Chemical
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.

2. Which of the following statements is correct about MyPlate?

• A. Canned fruit can be considered part of the fruit group
• B. Soymilk is considered part of the dairy group
• C. Beans and peas are considered part of both the protein group and the vegetable group
• D. Cream cheese and butter are not part of the dairy group

Correct answer: C

Rationale: According to the MyPlate guide, beans and peas are classified as part of both the protein and vegetable groups due to their high protein content and the nutrients they share with vegetables. This makes Choice C correct. Choice A is incorrect as canned fruit can be part of the fruit group if it's canned in water or 100% fruit juice. Soymilk is considered part of the dairy group, making Choice B incorrect. While cream cheese and butter are dairy products, they are not part of the dairy group on MyPlate because they contain little to no calcium, making Choice D incorrect.

3. A nurse is providing nutritional education to a client who is obese. The nurse should include in the information that which of the following gastrointestinal disorders is commonly associated with obesity?

• A. Peptic ulcer disease
• B. Gastroesophageal reflux disease
• C. Celiac disease
• D. Crohn’s disease

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly associated with obesity due to increased abdominal pressure and other factors. Peptic ulcer disease (Choice A) is not commonly associated with obesity. Celiac disease (Choice C) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption and is not directly linked to obesity. Crohn’s disease (Choice D) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease and is not specifically associated with obesity.

4. With which of the following should fluoride supplements never be taken?

• A. Water
• B. Juice
• C. Milk
• D. Soda

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fluoride supplements should never be taken with milk because the fluoride binds with the calcium in the milk, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the fluoride supplement. Other beverages like water, juice, or soda do not share this characteristic as they do not contain the same level of calcium as milk. The rationale behind choosing milk as the correct answer is that it hampers the effectiveness of fluoride supplements, whereas the other choices do not.

5. Which vitamin is essential for proper blood clotting?

• A. Vitamin A
• B. Vitamin E
• C. Vitamin K
• D. Vitamin C

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Vitamin K is vital for the synthesis of clotting factors, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. Vitamin A (Choice A) is important for vision and skin health, not blood clotting. Vitamin E (Choice B) is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage but is not directly involved in blood clotting. Vitamin C (Choice D) is essential for collagen synthesis and a healthy immune system, but it does not play a direct role in blood clotting.
