• A. the OAA Nutrition Program
• B. Meals on Wheels
• C. the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
• D. the Emergency Food Assistance Program

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP provides a food debit card to assist low-income individuals, including older adults, in purchasing food. Choice A, the OAA Nutrition Program, is incorrect as it refers to a different program specifically focused on providing nutrition services to older adults. Choice B, Meals on Wheels, is incorrect as it is a meal delivery service for homebound individuals rather than a food debit card program. Choice D, the Emergency Food Assistance Program, is incorrect as it typically involves the distribution of emergency food supplies rather than providing a food debit card.

Based on the assessment of the physician, Sergio sustained superficial partial thickness burns on his trunk, right upper extremities and right lower extremities. His wife asks what that means? Your most accurate response would be:

• A. Structures beneath the skin are damage
• B. Dermis is partially damaged

4. Which of the following proteins is iron a component of, responsible for the transport of oxygen in the bloodstream?

• A. hemoglobin
• B. transferrin
• C. myoglobin
• D. hepcidin

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein found in red blood cells that is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Iron is a crucial component of hemoglobin, binding to oxygen and allowing for its transport. Choice B, transferrin, is involved in iron transport in the blood but not in oxygen transport. Choice C, myoglobin, is a protein found in muscle cells that stores oxygen for muscle use, not transportation in the bloodstream. Choice D, hepcidin, is a peptide hormone that regulates iron absorption in the intestines and iron distribution in the body, but it is not directly involved in oxygen transport.

5. The RR nurse should monitor for the most common postoperative complication of:

• A. hemorrhage
• B. endotracheal tube perforation
