2. Which is NOT a classification of carbohydrate?

• A. Monosaccharides
• B. Disaccharides

• D. Triglycerides

3. What type of gastrointestinal complication is most likely to be caused by the use of antibiotics to treat H. pylori infection?

• A. Hemoptysis
• B. Altered taste sensation
• C. Flatulence
• D. Bloody stools

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Altered taste sensation. The use of antibiotics is known to cause changes in taste sensation as a side effect, especially when used to treat H. pylori infections. Hemoptysis (Choice A) refers to coughing up blood, and while it can be a symptom of various conditions, it is not typically associated with the use of antibiotics. Flatulence (Choice C) and bloody stools (Choice D) can also occur as gastrointestinal complications, but they are not the most likely side effect when treating H. pylori with antibiotics. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect.

• A. Marasmus

5. 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.
