3. Which food provides a 1-ounce serving of grains for a preschool child?
- A. 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes
- B. 1⁄2 slice of whole wheat bread
- C. 1⁄2 of a 6-inch flour tortilla
- D. 1 cup of cooked rice
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes. For a preschool child, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes provides a 1-ounce serving of grains, meeting the requirement. Choice B, 1⁄2 slice of whole wheat bread, is not the correct answer as it does not constitute a 1-ounce serving of grains. Similarly, choice C, 1⁄2 of a 6-inch flour tortilla, does not offer a 1-ounce serving of grains. Choice D, 1 cup of cooked rice, also does not provide a 1-ounce serving of grains for a preschool child, making it an incorrect choice.

- A. Fairly stable to heat, such as during cooking
- B. Contain carbon
- C. Stored in the pancreas
- D. Absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Fat-soluble vitamins are not stored in the pancreas; they are stored in the liver and fatty tissues. Choice A is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are fairly stable to heat. Choice B is also correct as fat-soluble vitamins contain carbon. Choice D is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food.
5. A client is being taught about foods to include in a low-fiber diet. Which statement indicates the client understands the teaching?
- A. “A fresh pear would be a good snack option.”
- B. “I can prepare refried beans for supper.”
- C. “Bran cereal would be a good breakfast choice.”
- D. “I should choose white rice as a side dish.”
Correct answer: “I should choose white rice as a side dish.”
Rationale: The correct answer is "I should choose white rice as a side dish." In a low-fiber diet, foods that are low in fiber are recommended to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. White rice is a low-fiber option suitable for this diet. Choices A, B, and C are high-fiber options and not suitable for a low-fiber diet. A fresh pear, refried beans, and bran cereal are all high in fiber, which should be avoided in a low-fiber diet.
