1. Which risk factors increase the risk of atherosclerosis?

• A. Exercise
• B. Excessive sun exposure
• C. Insufficient vaccinations
• D. Smoking

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Smoking is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. It significantly contributes to the buildup of plaque in the arteries and thereby increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, exercise is generally beneficial for cardiovascular health and is not a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Excessive sun exposure and insufficient vaccinations have no established links to atherosclerosis, making them incorrect options for this question.

2. When conducting assessments for malnutrition, which risk factors should the nurse consider? (SATA)

• A. Dental problems
• B. Depression
• C. Ability to read and write
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When assessing for malnutrition, nurses should consider multiple risk factors. Dental problems and depression can impact a person's ability to eat and maintain proper nutrition. The ability to read and write may not directly relate to malnutrition risk. The correct answer is 'All of the above' because dental problems and depression are indeed risk factors, along with other factors like the inability to prepare meals and the loss of a spouse.

3. The correct temperature to store vaccines in a refrigerator is:

• A. between -4 deg C and +8 deg C
• B. between 2 deg C and +8 deg C
• C. between -8 deg C and 0 deg C
• D. between -8 deg C and +4 deg C

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.

4. Water loss can occur from each, except one. Which is the exception?

• A. Respiratory inflammation
• B. Strenuous exercise
• C. Diarrhea
• D. Perspiration

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Perspiration. Water loss can occur through respiration inflammation, strenuous exercise, and diarrhea. Perspiration, also known as sweating, is a mechanism by which the body regulates temperature and eliminates some waste products, but it is not a cause of water loss. The body loses water through sweating, but this loss is mainly for cooling purposes, and it is not a primary mechanism for water loss like respiration, exercise, or diarrhea.

5. Which is NOT a classification of carbohydrate?

• A. Monosaccharides
• B. Disaccharides
• C. Polysaccharides
• D. Triglycerides

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat, not a carbohydrate. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are all classifications of carbohydrates based on the number of sugar units they contain. Monosaccharides are the simplest form with one sugar unit, disaccharides contain two sugar units, and polysaccharides have multiple sugar units linked together.
