• 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.

2. Which monosaccharide is the most sweet?

• A. Glucose
• B. Dextrose
• C. Fructose

3. The type of medicine that proposes that a person's inherent "life force" can foster self-healing is known as _____ medicine.

• A. homeopathic
• B. integrative
• C. naturopathic
• D. Ayurvedic

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that a person's inherent "life force" can promote self-healing, often using natural therapies and lifestyle changes.

4. 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.

5. Considering the statement that communication is most effective when barriers are first removed, which of the following is recognized as an inhibiting factor in communication?

• A. Avoidance of universally accepted abbreviations
• B. Usage of incorrect grammar
• C. Poor handwriting
• D. Advanced age of the client

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Advanced age of the client.' Age can be a significant obstacle in communication due to factors such as hearing loss, cognitive decline, or memory issues, which all can hamper effective communication. Choices A, B, and C, while they may present challenges in communication, are not directly related to age and its influence on communication, making them incorrect. The issues presented by not using universally accepted abbreviations, incorrect grammar, and poor handwriting can be resolved through clarification, education, or the use of alternative communication methods, unlike the difficulties that can arise from advanced age.
