ATI Nutrition Proctored Exam Questions &
Answers (Latest 2024/25)

1. Which of the following is the best source of Vitamin A?
A. Sweet potatoes
B. Whole grain bread
C. Salmon
D. Oranges
Answer: A. Sweet potatoes
Rationale: Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin found in foods such as
sweet potatoes, carrots, and dark leafy greens. Sweet potatoes are a
particularly rich source because they contain beta-carotene, a precursor
to vitamin A. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, not vitamin A.


2. A client with diabetes asks the nurse how to manage carbohydrate
intake. Which of the following responses is the most appropriate?
A. "You should eat only high-protein foods."
B. "You need to count carbohydrates and avoid all sugar."
C. "It’s important to spread carbohydrates throughout the day in
smaller, balanced meals."
D. "You can eat large amounts of carbohydrates as long as you avoid
fats."
Answer: C. "It’s important to spread carbohydrates throughout the day
in smaller, balanced meals."
Rationale: For clients with diabetes, it’s important to manage blood
glucose levels by spreading carbohydrate intake throughout the day in

,balanced meals. This helps prevent blood sugar spikes. Avoiding all
sugar or consuming only high-protein foods is not recommended.


3. Which of the following nutrients is most important for wound
healing?
A. Carbohydrates
B. Protein
C. Calcium
D. Iron
Answer: B. Protein
Rationale: Protein plays a vital role in tissue repair and wound healing
because it provides the amino acids necessary for collagen synthesis
and cell regeneration. Carbohydrates provide energy, calcium supports
bone health, and iron is important for oxygen transport but not directly
related to wound healing.


4. A client who is pregnant is advised to increase their intake of folic
acid. What is the most important reason for this recommendation?
A. Folic acid is important for the development of the neural tube in the
fetus.
B. Folic acid helps prevent excessive weight gain during pregnancy.
C. Folic acid helps increase the production of red blood cells.
D. Folic acid helps regulate the digestive system.
Answer: A. Folic acid is important for the development of the neural
tube in the fetus.
Rationale: Folic acid is essential during pregnancy to reduce the risk of
neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in the developing fetus. It is

,not primarily involved in weight management, red blood cell
production, or digestion.


5. A nurse is teaching a client about the effects of caffeine on the
body. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need
for further teaching?
A. "Caffeine can cause an increase in my heart rate."
B. "Caffeine can help me stay alert and awake."
C. "Caffeine is a good source of nutrients, such as calcium and iron."
D. "Caffeine can increase my blood pressure."
Answer: C. "Caffeine is a good source of nutrients, such as calcium and
iron."
Rationale: Caffeine does not provide significant nutrients like calcium or
iron. It is a stimulant that can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and
alertness. Excessive caffeine intake can also interfere with nutrient
absorption.


6. A client is on a low-sodium diet. Which of the following foods is the
best choice for this client?
A. Processed cheese
B. Canned vegetables
C. Fresh fruit
D. Deli meats
Answer: C. Fresh fruit
Rationale: Fresh fruits contain no sodium and are an excellent choice
for clients on a low-sodium diet. Processed cheese, canned vegetables,
and deli meats are all high in sodium due to preservatives or added salt.

, 7. A nurse is educating a client on the importance of adequate
hydration. Which of the following statements by the client indicates
an understanding of the teaching?
A. "I should only drink water if I feel thirsty."
B. "I should drink at least 8 cups of water a day, even if I don’t feel
thirsty."
C. "Drinks like soda or coffee are fine as long as I drink them with
meals."
D. "I don’t need to worry about hydration unless I am very active."
Answer: B. "I should drink at least 8 cups of water a day, even if I don’t
feel thirsty."
Rationale: It is important to stay hydrated by drinking adequate fluids
daily, even if thirst is not present. Water is the best choice for hydration.
Soda and coffee can contribute to dehydration, and hydration is
important for everyone, not just those who are active.


8. Which of the following is a sign of a vitamin D deficiency?
A. Bleeding gums
B. Bone pain
C. Skin rash
D. Muscle cramps
Answer: B. Bone pain
Rationale: Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone

increased risk of fractures. Bleeding gums are more likely associated
