1. What is the term for mobilizing people to become aware of their own problems and to take action to solve them?

• A. Community Organizing
• B. Family Nursing Care Plan
• C. Nursing Intervention
• D. Nursing Process

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Community Organizing. This involves engaging and mobilizing individuals in a community or group to take action for the mutual benefit or to solve common problems. The options 'Family Nursing Care Plan', 'Nursing Intervention', and 'Nursing Process' are incorrect as these terms refer to specific nursing practices and methods, not the broader action of mobilizing and engaging a community to solve its own problems. Moreover, the provided rationale does not match the original question and correct answer. It instead describes the proactive and preventative nature of nursing care, which is unrelated to the concept of community organizing.

2. Systemic disease often manifests in the oral cavity first. Disease within the oral cavity can cause systemic complications.

• 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.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Both statements are true. Systemic diseases can often present with oral manifestations before other systemic signs appear. Additionally, oral diseases can have systemic implications by affecting a person's overall health, such as through inflammation or compromised nutrient intake. Choice B is incorrect because both statements are true, as supported by medical literature. Choice C is incorrect because the second statement is also true. Choice D is incorrect because the first statement is true.

3. Which dietary supplement is often recommended for patients taking statins to lower cholesterol?

• A. Iron
• B. Coenzyme Q10
• C. Calcium
• D. Magnesium

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Coenzyme Q10 is often recommended for patients on statins because it may help reduce muscle pain, a common side effect of these medications. Iron (Choice A) is not typically recommended for patients taking statins to lower cholesterol. Calcium (Choice C) and Magnesium (Choice D) are not specifically indicated for addressing muscle pain associated with statin use, making them less suitable choices in this scenario.

4. Onset frequently occurs after the age of 40.

• A. Type 1 Diabetes
• B. Type 2 Diabetes
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes commonly presents with an onset after the age of 40, although it is now also seen in younger individuals due to lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise. Type 1 Diabetes, on the other hand, typically develops in childhood or adolescence and is not associated with age over 40. Choices C and D are left blank as they are not relevant to the question.

5. Nonnutritive sweeteners are not metabolized by microorganisms and do not promote dental caries. Products made with a nonnutritive sweetener can be used as frequently as 8 to 10 times per day.

• 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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The first statement is true; nonnutritive sweeteners do not promote caries. However, the second statement is false because products with nonnutritive sweeteners should still be consumed in moderation.
