• A. Give extraordinary measures to save Mang Carlos
• B. Stay with Mang Carlos and Do nothing

2. Increasing the variety of foods often prevents nutrient excesses and toxicities. A dietary change to eliminate or increase intake of one specific food or nutrient usually alters the intake of other nutrients.

• A. Both statements are true.
• B. Both statements are false.
• C. The first statement is true; the second is false.
• D. The first statement is false; the second is true.

The second statement is true because making a dietary change to eliminate or increase the intake of a specific food or nutrient often leads to alterations in the intake of other nutrients. Choice A is incorrect because the first statement is false. Choice B is incorrect because the second statement is true. Choice C is incorrect because the first statement is false, even though the second statement is true.

• A. Proteins
• B. Caffeine
• C. Calcium
• D. Wheat

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Patients with stomach ulcers are advised to avoid foods that can increase stomach acid levels, such as caffeine, proteins, and calcium. Wheat, on the other hand, is generally well-tolerated by individuals with ulcers as it does not stimulate gastric secretions. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (Proteins), B (Caffeine), and C (Calcium) are not recommended for patients with stomach ulcers due to their potential to exacerbate symptoms.

5. Where does most nutrient digestion and absorption occur?

• A. Large intestine
• B. Small intestine
• C. Stomach
• D. Mouth

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The small intestine is the correct answer. It is the primary site for nutrient digestion and absorption in the digestive system. The small intestine plays a crucial role in breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into forms that can be absorbed by the body. While the large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes, the majority of nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine. The stomach primarily functions in the initial digestion of proteins, and the mouth begins the mechanical breakdown of food through chewing.
