• A. outreach program
• B. hospital extension program
• C. barangay health program

2. A nurse is completing a nutritional assessment of an adult female client. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client is at an increased risk of developing cancer?

• B. Eats 6 servings of whole grains daily.
• C. Limits alcohol consumption to 2 drinks per day.
• D. Limits red meat intake to 3oz per day.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because limiting alcohol consumption to 2 drinks per day is still above the recommended limit for reducing cancer risk. The recommended limit for women is 1 drink per day to lower the risk of developing cancer. Choices A, B, and D are not indicative of an increased risk of developing cancer as they all align with a healthy diet and lifestyle, which can actually help reduce the risk of cancer.

• C. Allowing the client cheese, canned foods and other processed food

4. When is infertility said to exist?

• A. When a woman has no uterus
• B. When a woman has no children
• C. When a couple has been trying to conceive for 1 year without success
• D. When a couple has desired a child for 6 months

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year for most couples. Therefore, the correct answer is C. A, B, and D are incorrect. While having no uterus (choice A) may result in infertility, it is not the sole determining factor. Similarly, not having children (choice B) does not automatically indicate infertility. Lastly, the time frame of 6 months (choice D) is not sufficient to determine infertility; typically, a year of trying without success is required for such a diagnosis.

• B. Reduce fiber intake
• C. Increase dietary fiber intake
