Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a group of clients who are at risk for heart disease about decreasing saturated fats in their diet. Which of the following fats should the nurse recommend the clients use when cooking?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Canola oil is lower in saturated fats compared to palm oil, peanut oil, and stick margarine, making it a healthier option for clients at risk for heart disease. Palm oil is high in saturated fats, peanut oil has a moderate amount of saturated fats, and stick margarine is also high in saturated fats and trans fats, which are not heart-healthy choices.

Question 2 of 5

A healthcare provider is on a med-surg unit caring for a client who follows the dietary laws of Orthodox Judaism. Which of the following menu selections should the healthcare provider recommend for this client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Grilled vegetables. Orthodox Judaism restricts the consumption of certain animals, including catfish, shrimp, and pork, making choices A, B, and C inappropriate for a client following these dietary laws. Grilled vegetables are a safe and suitable option that complies with Orthodox Jewish dietary guidelines.

Question 3 of 5

A client receiving continuous enteral tube feeding reports cramping and abdominal distention. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When a client on continuous enteral tube feeding experiences cramping and abdominal distention, the nurse should check for gastric residual. This assessment helps determine if the client is tolerating the feeding well or if there is a potential issue such as feeding intolerance. Applying low intermittent suction, increasing the feeding rate, or requesting a higher-fat formula are not appropriate actions for addressing the reported symptoms and may exacerbate the client's discomfort or lead to further complications.

Question 4 of 5

A client with a body mass index of 28 is seeking dietary advice. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Referring the client to a weight-loss support group is the most appropriate action for a client with a body mass index of 28. This action can provide the necessary support, guidance, and motivation to help the client achieve their weight loss goals. Encouraging the client to continue their current daily caloric intake (Choice A) may not address the need for weight loss. Recommending a total fiber intake of 12g per day (Choice B) is important for overall health but may not directly address weight loss. Advising the client to add 500 calories per day to their diet (Choice C) would not be beneficial for weight loss in this scenario.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is providing nutritional education to a client who is obese. The nurse should include in the information that which of the following gastrointestinal disorders is commonly associated with obesity?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly associated with obesity due to increased abdominal pressure and other factors. Peptic ulcer disease (Choice A) is not commonly associated with obesity. Celiac disease (Choice C) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption and is not directly linked to obesity. Crohn's disease (Choice D) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease and is not specifically associated with obesity.
