1. What is the digestive action of bile?

• A. It breaks down carbohydrates
• B. It breaks down proteins
• C. It breaks down lipids
• D. It aids in fat digestion

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Bile, which is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, aids in the digestion of fats. It does this by emulsifying the fats, which makes them easier for the digestive enzymes, such as lipase, to break down. While choices A, B, and C could be seen as partially correct since fats are a type of lipid and the process of breaking down fats could be seen as breaking down lipids, the most accurate answer is D, as the primary function of bile is to aid in fat digestion, not the digestion of all types of lipids or the digestion of proteins or carbohydrates.

• D. Firm kindness

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Effective nursing care involves comprehensive assessments that address all aspects of a patient's condition, ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted and outcomes are optimized.

3. A nurse is completing an admission assessment on an adolescent client who is vegan. Which breakfast item should the nurse recommend as a protein combination with their diet restriction?

• A. Bagel with cream cheese
• B. Wheat toast with jelly
• C. Oatmeal pancakes with peanut butter
• D. Eggs with tofu bacon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Oatmeal pancakes with peanut butter. For a vegan client, it is important to recommend plant-based protein sources. Oatmeal pancakes with peanut butter offer a good protein combination that aligns with their dietary restriction. Choices A, B, and D are not suitable as they all contain animal-derived products, which are not suitable for a vegan diet.

5. What factor has been shown to contribute to poor nutritional health among adolescents?

• A. Most teens choose fruit juice and milk over soda
• B. Many teens consume energy drinks on a regular basis
• C. Teens have busy schedules and rarely drink fluids throughout the day
• D. Teens are more likely to consume low-fat milk

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because many teens regularly consume energy drinks, which can contribute to poor nutritional health due to their high sugar and caffeine content, leading to unhealthy dietary patterns. Choice A is incorrect because choosing fruit juice and milk over soda would generally be considered a healthier choice. Choice C is incorrect as busy schedules leading to inadequate fluid intake might impact hydration but not necessarily poor nutritional health. Choice D is also incorrect as consuming low-fat milk is not typically a significant factor contributing to poor nutritional health among adolescents.
