1. Which of the following is a good food source of iodine?

• A. Seafood
• B. Lettuce
• C. Broccoli
• D. Pork

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Seafood is a rich source of iodine, essential for maintaining healthy thyroid function and overall metabolic health. While lettuce, broccoli, and pork may contain some iodine, they do not provide as substantial an amount as seafood. Therefore, they are not considered 'good' sources of iodine in comparison.

2. A nurse is teaching a client who needs to increase their daily fluid intake. Which of the following foods has the highest percentage of water by weight?

• A. Yogurt
• B. Milk
• C. Lettuce
• D. Honey

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is Lettuce. Lettuce has the highest percentage of water by weight among the options provided, making it an excellent choice to increase fluid intake. Yogurt and milk have some water content but are not as high in water percentage as lettuce. Honey, on the other hand, contains very little water and is not a good choice for increasing fluid intake.

3. Which of the following is not true about Pure Experimental research?

• A. There is a control group
• B. There is an experimental group
• C. Selection of subjects in the control group is randomized
• D. There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In Pure Experimental research, subjects in the experimental group are typically selected randomly to minimize bias and ensure that the results are attributable to the intervention being studied. Therefore, the statement 'There is a careful selection of subjects in the experimental group' is not true. This careful selection would introduce bias and compromise the validity of the experimental results. Choices A, B, and C are true for Pure Experimental research as it involves both a control group, an experimental group, and randomization of subject selection in the control group to ensure comparability.

• A. Last will and testament
• B. DNR

Rationale: Understanding the underlying pathology and therapeutic techniques ensures that nursing care is not only reactive but also preventative, reducing the risk of complications.

5. What best describes a task of the registered dietitian?

• A. administering total parenteral nutrition
• B. administering formula through feeding tubes
• C. prescribing diet orders
• D. conducting nutrition assessments

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, conducting nutrition assessments. Registered dietitians are responsible for assessing an individual's nutritional status, dietary intake, and health needs. This assessment forms the basis for developing personalized nutrition care plans. Choices A and B involve the administration of specialized nutrition support, which is typically done by healthcare providers with specific training in those areas. Choice C, prescribing diet orders, may fall outside the scope of practice for a dietitian as they focus more on assessment, education, and counseling related to nutrition rather than prescribing medical treatments.
