1. Which breakfast items indicate an understanding of foods high in antioxidants A and C?

• A. Fried eggs, sausage, and whole wheat toast
• B. Oatmeal with blueberries and coffee
• C. Cereal with strawberries and low-fat milk
• D. Hard-boiled eggs, cantaloupe, and orange juice

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hard-boiled eggs, cantaloupe, and orange juice. Cantaloupe and orange juice are rich in vitamins A and C, which are known for their antioxidant properties. Choice A is incorrect because fried eggs, sausage, and whole wheat toast do not contain high levels of antioxidants A and C. Choice B is incorrect because, while blueberries are high in antioxidants, coffee does not provide significant amounts of vitamins A and C. Choice C is incorrect because, although strawberries are a good source of vitamin C, low-fat milk does not contribute significantly to vitamins A and C.

2. Fatty acids may differ from one another:

• A. in chain length
• B. in degree of saturation
• C. in number of calories
• D.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Fatty acids vary in chain length and degree of saturation, affecting their physical properties and health effects.

3. This vaccine content is derived from RNA recombinants.

• A. Measles C. Hepatitis B vaccines
• B. Tetanus toxoids D. DPT

4. Which of the following are the primary bacteria involved in the initiation of dental caries?

• A. Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus species
• B. Salmonella and Listeria species
• C. Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Salmonella species
• D. Listeria, Botulinum species, and Escherichia coli

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus species. These bacteria are primarily responsible for initiating dental caries by fermenting carbohydrates and producing acids that demineralize enamel. Choice B, Salmonella and Listeria species, are not the primary bacteria involved in dental caries. Choice C includes Salmonella which is not a primary culprit in dental caries. Choice D lists Listeria, Botulinum species, and Escherichia coli, none of which are the primary bacteria associated with initiating dental caries.

5. What are the manifestations of nephrotic syndrome?

• A. Dehydration
• B. Uremia
• C. Infection
• D. Low blood lipids

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Infection is a common manifestation of nephrotic syndrome. This is due to the loss of immunoglobulins in the urine, which weakens the body's immune defenses. Dehydration (Choice A) and uremia (Choice B) can be symptoms of kidney dysfunction but are not specific manifestations of nephrotic syndrome. Low blood lipids (Choice D) is incorrect as nephrotic syndrome typically results in high, not low, blood lipid levels due to the body's attempt to replace lost proteins.
