1. Which vitamin is essential for proper blood clotting?

• A. Vitamin A
• B. Vitamin E
• C. Vitamin K
• D. Vitamin C

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Vitamin K is vital for the synthesis of clotting factors, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. Vitamin A (Choice A) is important for vision and skin health, not blood clotting. Vitamin E (Choice B) is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage but is not directly involved in blood clotting. Vitamin C (Choice D) is essential for collagen synthesis and a healthy immune system, but it does not play a direct role in blood clotting.

2. Which of the following statements about Z-Track technique is false?

• A. Z-Track injections prevent irritation of the subcutaneous tissues
• B. The technique involves creating a Zig-Zag like pattern of medication
• C. It forces the medication to be contained in the subcutaneous tissues
• D. It is used when administering Parenteral Iron

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Z-Track technique is aimed at preventing medication leakage into the surrounding tissues by sealing the medication in the muscle, not by creating a Zig-Zag pattern. Choice A is correct as Z-Track injections help prevent irritation. Choice C is correct as it accurately describes how the technique works. Choice D is also correct as the Z-Track technique is commonly used when administering Parenteral Iron to prevent staining and irritation of the surrounding tissues.

3. To prevent recurrent attacks on client with glomerulonephritis, the nurse instructs the client to:

• A. Take a shower instead of tub baths
• B. Avoid situations that involve physical activity
• C. Continue the same restriction on fluid intake
• D. Seek early treatment for respiratory infection

4. Which food items should be avoided by a child with lactose intolerance?

• A. Popcorn, seeds, and any foods containing nuts.
• B. Milk, cheese, ice cream, and puddings.
• C. Wheat, rye, barley, and commercially baked goods.
• D. Eggs, ham, bacon, and canned meats.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Milk, cheese, ice cream, and puddings should be avoided by a child with lactose intolerance because they contain lactose, which the child's body may have difficulty digesting. Option A is incorrect as popcorn, seeds, and foods containing nuts do not typically contain lactose. Option C lists wheat, rye, barley, and commercially baked goods, which are sources of gluten, not lactose. Option D includes eggs, ham, bacon, and canned meats, which are also not sources of lactose. Therefore, B is the most appropriate choice for a child with lactose intolerance.

5. A nurse is teaching a group of adults about nutrition. The nurse should include which of the following amounts as an appropriate daily intake of fiber for adult women?

• A. 5 to 10 g
• B. 10 to 15 g
• C. 20 to 35 g
• D. 40 to 50 g

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 20 to 35 g. This range is the recommended daily intake of fiber for adult women. Fiber is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system and overall well-being. Option A (5 to 10 g) is too low and may not provide sufficient fiber intake. Option B (10 to 15 g) is also below the recommended range. Option D (40 to 50 g) is too high and can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and other complications if consumed in excess.
