1. A nurse is providing teaching to a group of older adults about oil-rich foods. Which of the following foods should be included as the equivalent of 6 tsp of oil?

A. 1 tbsp soft margarine
B. 1?2 oz of nuts
C. 2 tbsp peanut butter
D. 1 oz sunflower seeds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 tbsp peanut butter. 6 teaspoons of oil are equivalent to 2 tablespoons of oil. Peanut butter is a good source of oil and healthy fats. Choice A, 1 tbsp soft margarine, is incorrect because 1 tablespoon is not equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Choice B, 1?2 oz of nuts, is incorrect as nuts are not equivalent to oil-rich foods in this context. Choice D, 1 oz sunflower seeds, is incorrect because 1 ounce of sunflower seeds is not equivalent to 6 teaspoons of oil.

2. Which is NOT a classification of carbohydrate?

A. Monosaccharides
B. Disaccharides
C. Polysaccharides
D. Triglycerides

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat, not a carbohydrate. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are all classifications of carbohydrates based on the number of sugar units they contain. Monosaccharides are the simplest form with one sugar unit, disaccharides contain two sugar units, and polysaccharides have multiple sugar units linked together.

A. Insertion of the suction catheter
B. Withdrawing of the suction catheter
C. both insertion and withdrawing of the suction catheter
D. When the suction catheter tip reaches the bifurcation of the trachea

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.

4. Which of the following methods is the best method for determining nasogastric tube placement in the stomach?

A. X-ray
B. Observation of gastric aspirate
C. Testing of pH of gastric aspirate
D. Placement of external end of tube under water

Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.

5. The following are all classes of nutrients except:

A. protein
B. fat
C. carbs
D. phytochemicals

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Phytochemicals are not considered a class of nutrients. While proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are essential macronutrients providing energy and structural support, phytochemicals are non-nutrient compounds found in plants that offer various health benefits but are not essential for sustaining life like the other three choices. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
