Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is conducting a community group discussion on nutrition. One of the participants says to the nurse, 'I am a vegan. I have been told I might get pernicious anemia. How can I prevent that?' What should the nurse include when answering the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vegans lack dietary B12 (found in animal products), risking pernicious anemia. Oral B12 supplements can prevent deficiency, while injections or enzyme testing are unnecessary unless absorption issues exist.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is providing home care to an 89-year-old man. Which comments by the client indicate a need for further follow up? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: Color vision loss, photophobia, hearing loss, and memory issues suggest potential medical issues (e.g., cataracts, glaucoma, hearing impairment, cognitive decline) requiring follow-up.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is talking to parents about nutrition in school aged children. Which of the following is the most common nutritional disorder in this age group?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obesity. Factors like sedentary lifestyles and poor nutrition knowledge contribute to high obesity rates in school-aged children.
Question 4 of 5
A diagnosis of pernicious anemia is made by:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Schilling test diagnoses pernicious anemia by assessing vitamin B12 absorption. Bone marrow aspiration, quantitative assays, or the Weber test (hearing) are not specific to this condition.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following provides the best evidence that the nursing interventions to deal with a client’s self-care deficit in relation to feeding have been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Eating half of meals and drinking 2,000 mL/day is a concrete measure of adequate nutrition, indicating effective interventions. Options B, C, and D are less direct: dentures aid chewing but don’t ensure intake, suspicions suggest unresolved issues, and grooming energy is unrelated.
