Question 1 of 9
Is the statement 'The metabolic rate is the highest after a few hours of sleep' true or false?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The statement is false. The metabolic rate is actually lowest during sleep and increases upon waking. During sleep, the body conserves energy, leading to a lower metabolic rate. As the body wakes up and becomes active, the metabolic rate increases to support the body's functions and energy needs. Therefore, the metabolic rate is not the highest after a few hours of sleep, making the statement false.

Question 6 of 9
Low levels of physical activity are more commonly associated with which type of cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Low physical activity is most strongly associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. Regular exercise helps regulate bowel movements and reduce inflammation, which are factors that can contribute to the development of colon cancer. Esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer are not as directly linked to low levels of physical activity.
Question 7 of 9
What type of diet would most likely benefit a patient with cystic fibrosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Patients with cystic fibrosis often have malabsorption issues, leading to increased energy needs. A high-calorie, high-protein diet is recommended to help meet these needs, support growth, and maintain overall health. Choices A, B, and C do not address the specific dietary requirements associated with cystic fibrosis, making them less beneficial for these patients.
Question 8 of 9
What are symptoms of uncontrolled type 1 diabetes?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased thirst, urination, and hunger. Uncontrolled type 1 diabetes typically presents with classic symptoms including polydipsia (increased thirst), polyuria (frequent urination), and polyphagia (increased hunger). These symptoms are often accompanied by weight loss due to the body's inability to properly utilize glucose for energy. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the typical symptoms of uncontrolled type 1 diabetes. Depression, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain, macrosomia, food cravings, poor wound healing, blurred vision, and recurrent infections are not primary symptoms associated with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes.
