Question 1 of 5
Nutrients per serving: [Table provided]. Which of the snacks—lunch meat, peanuts, cheese, or apple—has the lowest number of calories per serving?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Calories: Lunch meat = (6X 9) + (1X 4) + (7X 4) = 86; Peanuts = (14X 9) + (5X 4) + (7X 4) = 174; Cheese = (9X 9) + (1X 4) + (7X 4) = 113; Apple = (0.3X 9) + (25X 4) + (0.5X 4) = 104.7. Apple (
D) has the lowest at ~105 calories.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with myasthenia gravis who is having trouble breathing. The nurse would encourage which of the following positions for maximal lung expansion?
