Question 2 of 9

A healthcare provider is teaching a client about nutritional requirements necessary to promote wound healing. Which of the following nutrients should the provider include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Protein is crucial for wound healing as it plays a vital role in tissue repair and synthesis. Calcium is important for bone health but not directly related to wound healing. Vitamin B1 is essential for energy production but not specifically significant for wound healing. Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function but is not a primary nutrient emphasized for wound healing.

Question 3 of 9

A nurse is instructing a group of clients about nutrition. The nurse should include that which of the following foods is a good source of high-quality protein?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Soybeans are a good source of high-quality protein. They contain all the essential amino acids needed by the body. Grains, legumes, and green vegetables do not provide as much high-quality protein as soybeans. Grains and legumes are good sources of protein but may lack some essential amino acids, while green vegetables generally have lower protein content compared to soybeans.

Question 4 of 9

A nurse is educating a group of older adults in a community center on weight management using the BMI scale. Using the client's height and weight to calculate BMI, which of the following clients has a healthy BMI?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine a healthy BMI, we need to calculate it using the formula: BMI = weight (lbs) / height^2 (inches) x 703. For choice A, BMI = 128 / (70 x 70) x 703 = 18.38, which falls within the healthy BMI range of 18.5-24.9. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D have BMIs of 22.8, 27.1, and 26.1, respectively, which are outside the healthy range. Thus, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.

Question 5 of 9

A client with chronic pancreatitis is receiving discharge teaching from a nurse. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In chronic pancreatitis, it is important to increase protein intake to support healing and prevent malnutrition. Choice A is incorrect because decreasing caloric intake during abdominal pain may lead to further nutritional deficiencies. Choice C is incorrect as increasing fat intake can exacerbate symptoms due to the impaired fat digestion in chronic pancreatitis. Choice D is incorrect as alcohol should be completely avoided in chronic pancreatitis to prevent further damage to the pancreas.

Question 6 of 9

A client is experiencing sleep disturbances and desires to decrease caffeine intake. Which of the following beverages should the nurse recommend?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The nurse should recommend brewed iced tea as it generally contains less caffeine compared to other choices. Lemon-lime soda, diet cola, and chocolate milk all contain caffeine, which can contribute to sleep disturbances. Lemon-lime soda and diet cola are carbonated beverages that typically contain caffeine unless specified as caffeine-free. Chocolate milk also contains caffeine due to the cocoa content. Therefore, brewed iced tea is the most suitable choice to reduce caffeine intake and improve sleep quality.

Question 7 of 9

A client who is postpartum and has been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia should be taught to consume which of the following dietary recommendations?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is spinach and beef. Both spinach and beef are high in iron, making them excellent choices to help combat iron deficiency anemia. Yogurt, mozzarella, milk, turkey slices, fish, and cottage cheese are not as rich in iron compared to spinach and beef, so they are not the most suitable dietary recommendations for a client with iron deficiency anemia.

Question 8 of 9

A client is being prepared for placement of a catheter for total parenteral nutrition. Which of the following access sites should be planned for catheter insertion?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is the Right subclavian vein. When preparing a client for placement of a catheter for total parenteral nutrition, the preferred access site for catheter insertion is the subclavian vein due to its large size, central location, and lower risk of infection compared to peripheral veins. The other options provided (Left antecubital vein, Right femoral artery, and Left arm radial artery) are not suitable access sites for central venous catheter insertion for total parenteral nutrition.

Question 9 of 9

A nurse is providing teaching to a group of parents of newborns who are planning to formula feed. Which of the following statements by a parent indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is, "I will ensure my baby's feeds last 10 to 15 minutes." This statement indicates a need for further teaching because it suggests a strict time limit for feedings, which may not be appropriate for a newborn. Newborns should be allowed to feed as long as they want, typically around 20-30 minutes per breast if breastfeeding, or on-demand with formula. Choices A, C, and D demonstrate proper feeding practices such as feeding at room temperature, burping halfway through each feeding, and watching for signs of fullness to stop the feeding, which are all appropriate responses by a parent of a formula-fed newborn.
