1. Why would a person who eats a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day most likely be making a food choice based on ___?

• A. habit
• B. availability
• C. body image
• D. environmental concerns

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: habit. Eating the same food regularly often stems from habit, which is a behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously. Choice B, availability, is incorrect as it refers to the accessibility of a particular food rather than the frequency of consumption. Choice C, body image, is also incorrect as this term relates to how one perceives their own body rather than their food choices. Choice D, environmental concerns, is unrelated to the scenario provided, which is about the frequency of choosing oatmeal for breakfast.

2. What is a common symptom of a urinary tract infection in children?

• A. Fever
• B. Weight loss
• C. Abdominal pain
• D. Increased appetite

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Fever is a common symptom of a urinary tract infection in children. It is often accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or discomfort. Weight loss (choice B) is not a typical symptom of a urinary tract infection in children. Abdominal pain (choice C) can be present but is not as specific as fever. Increased appetite (choice D) is not a common symptom of a urinary tract infection.

3. What is a key aspect of managing a child with eczema?

• A. Daily baths with soap
• B. Regular use of emollients and moisturizers
• C. High-protein diet
• D. Frequent exposure to sunlight

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Regular use of emollients and moisturizers is a key aspect of managing eczema in children. Emollients help maintain skin hydration and reduce irritation, which are crucial in managing eczema symptoms. Daily baths with soap can actually worsen eczema by drying out the skin further. A high-protein diet and frequent exposure to sunlight are not directly related to managing eczema and may not have a significant impact on the condition.

4. What action should be taken for a 2-year-old with laryngotracheobronchitis in an oxygen tent?

• A. Restrain the child and notify the healthcare provider
• B. Increase the oxygen concentration
• C. Take the child to the playroom
• D. Ask the mother to help in comforting the child

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In laryngotracheobronchitis (croup), a child may become restless due to poor oxygenation. Increasing the oxygen concentration in the oxygen tent is crucial to improve oxygenation levels and manage symptoms effectively. Restraint is not appropriate in this situation, as it may cause distress and worsen the child's condition. Taking the child to the playroom is not indicated when the child requires oxygen therapy. While comforting the child is important, the priority in this scenario is to optimize oxygen delivery to improve respiratory distress.

5. Which of the following is considered a micronutrient?

• A. Protein
• B. Carbohydrate
• C. Vitamin C
• D. Fat

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Question: Vitamin C is considered a micronutrient because it is required in small amounts for proper body functioning and is essential for health. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients, needed in larger quantities for energy and other body functions. Vitamin C, being a micronutrient, plays a crucial role in various bodily functions even though it is needed in smaller quantities compared to macronutrients. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (Protein), Choice B (Carbohydrate), and Choice D (Fat) are incorrect as they are macronutrients required in larger amounts for energy and other body functions.
