• A. Marginal Food Security
• B. Food Desert
• C. Very Low Food Security
• D. Food Insecurity

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Food Insecurity'. This term specifically describes a situation where household members consistently have inadequate access to food due to financial constraints. 'Marginal Food Security' (Choice A) refers to a situation where the quality or variety of food is reduced, but there is no significant decrease in food intake. A 'Food Desert' (Choice B) is an area with limited access to affordable and nutritious food. 'Very Low Food Security' (Choice C) is a term used to describe a severe level of food insecurity where eating patterns of household members are disrupted and food intake is reduced.

• A. Fairly stable to heat, such as during cooking
• B. Contain carbon
• C. Stored in the pancreas
• D. Absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fat-soluble vitamins are not stored in the pancreas; they are stored in the liver and fatty tissues. Choice A is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are fairly stable to heat. Choice B is also correct as fat-soluble vitamins contain carbon. Choice D is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food.

3. Which team member works with the client to evaluate the need for special feeding devices and then teaches the client how to use the device?

• A. dietitian
• B. speech-language pathologist
• C. dietetic technician
• D. occupational therapist

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An occupational therapist is the team member who works with the client to evaluate the need for special feeding devices and teaches the client how to use them. Occupational therapists specialize in helping individuals with physical or cognitive impairments to perform daily activities. In this scenario, the need for special feeding devices may be due to impaired motor function or disability, making the occupational therapist the correct choice. The other options, dietitian, speech-language pathologist, and dietetic technician, do not typically specialize in evaluating the need for feeding devices or teaching clients how to use them.

4. All of the following are electrolytes except:

• A. chloride
• B. potassium

Rationale: Iron is not an electrolyte; electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride help maintain fluid balance and are critical for nerve and muscle function.

5. Each statement is true, except one. Which is the exception?

• B. Low-fat milk is not recommended for children younger than 2 years
• C. Special toddler formulas are available but are unnecessary
• D. Vitamin D-fortified whole milk should not be provided until 2 years

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Vitamin D-fortified whole milk should be provided starting at age 1 after discontinuing breast feeding or infant formulas, not at 2 years. Providing whole milk at age 2 is appropriate. Choices A, B, and C are correct statements: infant formulas are typically discontinued around 1 year of age, low-fat milk is not recommended for children under 2 years, and special toddler formulas are unnecessary.
