1. For a patient with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), which dietary advice is most appropriate?

A. Increase spicy foods
B. Avoid fatty foods
C. Increase citrus fruits
D. Reduce water intake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Avoiding fatty foods can help reduce the symptoms of GERD.

2. What is the conversion of genetic information in RNA into a sequence of amino acids?

A. translation
B. transcription
C.
D.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'translation.' Translation is the process where the genetic information in messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids, forming a protein. This process occurs at ribosomes within the cell. Option B, 'transcription,' is incorrect as transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from a DNA template. Options C and D are irrelevant as they are not related to the conversion of genetic information into amino acids.

3. Uric acid kidney stones are most commonly associated with what condition?

A. diabetes
B. hypercalcemia
C. gout
D. diarrhea

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Gout is a condition characterized by high levels of uric acid, which can lead to the formation of uric acid kidney stones due to the crystallization of uric acid in the kidneys.

4. Which dietary recommendation is most appropriate for a patient with gout?

A. Increase protein intake
B. Reduce carbohydrate intake
C. Avoid purine-rich foods
D. Increase calcium intake

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The most appropriate dietary recommendation for a patient with gout is to avoid purine-rich foods. Purine-rich foods such as red meat and shellfish can lead to increased uric acid levels in the body, triggering gout flare-ups. Increasing protein intake (Choice A) is not recommended as some high-protein foods are also high in purines. Reducing carbohydrate intake (Choice B) and increasing calcium intake (Choice D) are not directly related to managing gout symptoms.
