1. Which of the following is not correct?

A. energy density is a comparison of energy (kcals) content to the weight of food
B. if a food product contains a 15% daily value of calcium, that product is said to be a low source of calcium
C. MyPlate illustrates the 5 food groups
D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A product with 15% Daily Value (DV) of calcium is considered a good source, not a low source. Typically, anything 10-19% DV is considered a good source.

2. What are the potential consequences of damage to the stomach?

A. Reduced digestion of carbohydrates
B. Inability to produce or secrete bile
C. Inability to produce or secrete gastric acid
D. Increased ability to produce or secrete intrinsic factor

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Damage to the stomach can lead to a reduced ability to produce gastric acid (Choice C) and intrinsic factor, the latter of which is crucial for vitamin B12 absorption (Choice D). That's why these two choices are correct. The stomach doesn't play a direct role in the digestion of carbohydrates (Choice A) as this process primarily occurs in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes. Similarly, bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, not the stomach, hence stomach damage wouldn't lead to an inability to produce or secrete bile (Choice B).

3. The nurse is educating a client about foods high in antioxidants A and C. Which breakfast items chosen by the client would indicate that the education was sufficient?

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: Hard-boiled eggs, cantaloupe, and orange juice are high in antioxidants A and C.

4. What is the most common nutritional disorder for the older adult?

A. Obesity
B. Underweight
C. Vitamin deficiency
D. Dehydration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Obesity. Among older adults, obesity is the most common nutritional disorder. This is often attributed to reduced physical activity levels and changes in metabolism that occur with aging. Choice B (Underweight) is less common among older adults as compared to obesity. While choices C (Vitamin deficiency) and D (Dehydration) are important nutritional issues, they are generally not as prevalent as obesity in the older adult population.

5. What is the digestive action of lipase?

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Lipase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down lipids (fats) during the process of digestion, converting them into fatty acids and glycerol. This is why option C is the correct answer. Although option D is partially correct, it's less specific than option C. Lipase does not break down carbohydrates or proteins, so options A and B are incorrect.
