1. If a person could not make bile, what would happen?

A. experience fatigue, as the body would not be able to make lipid carriers to deliver fat to body cells for energy
B. have less cholesterol being made by the liver
C. need to consume higher levels of fat
D. be unable to absorb most lipids, and fat would be excreted in the feces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Bile is essential for emulsifying fats in the small intestine, allowing them to be absorbed. Without bile, most fats would not be absorbed and would be excreted in the feces. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the primary role of bile is in the digestion and absorption of fats, rather than affecting lipid carriers, cholesterol production, or dietary fat consumption.

2. A nurse is discussing denture care with the partner of a client who is unable to perform oral hygiene. Which of the following should be included in the discussion?

A. Floss dentures as part of daily cleaning.
B. Wipe dentures before storing them in a dry container at night.
C. Wrap gloved fingers with gauze to remove dentures.
D. Use a washcloth to clean the denture surfaces.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Wrap gloved fingers with gauze to remove dentures.' This method provides a safe and effective way to remove dentures without causing damage. Choice A is incorrect because flossing dentures is not recommended. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests wiping dentures and storing them dry, which is not the best practice. Choice D is incorrect because using a washcloth may not effectively clean all denture surfaces.

3. An essential nutrient must:

A. be eaten every day
B. be obtained by the diet
C. be water soluble
D. be eaten at every meal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'be obtained by the diet.' Essential nutrients are those that the body cannot synthesize in sufficient quantities and must therefore be obtained through the diet. Choice A is incorrect because not all essential nutrients need to be consumed daily; the frequency of consumption varies. Choice C is incorrect because not all essential nutrients are water-soluble; they can be water-soluble or fat-soluble. Choice D is incorrect because essential nutrients do not need to be consumed at every meal, but rather need to be included in the overall diet regularly.

4. Which food is a reliable source of B12 for a pregnant vegan client?

A. Soybeans
B. Algae
C. Fortified soy milk
D. Sea vegetables

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fortified soy milk is a reliable source of vitamin B12 for pregnant vegan clients as it is usually enriched with this vitamin. The other options, while nutritious, are not reliable sources of B12 for vegans. Soybeans may not provide enough B12, algae contains B12 analogs that the human body cannot utilize, and the B12 content in sea vegetables can fluctuate, potentially not providing the necessary daily intake.

5. A nurse should be cognizant that professional programs for specialty certification by the Board of Nursing accredited through the:

A. Professional Regulation Commission
B. Nursing Specialty Certification Council
C. Association of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing
D. Philippine Nurse Association

Correct answer: A

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.
