CH 45 TEST Q - Test banks practice Chapter 45. Nutrition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. While doing a nutritional assessment of a low-income family, the community health nurse determines the familys diet is inadequate in protein content. The nurse suggests which of the following foods to increase protein content with little increase in the food budget? 1 Oranges and potatoes 2 Potatoes and rice 3 Rice and macaroni 4 Peas and beans ANS: 4 For families on limited budgets, substitutes can be used. For example, bean or cheese dishes can often replace meat in a meal. Peas and lentils are also inexpensive food sources of protein. Oranges and potatoes are not high in protein content. Potatoes and rice are sources of carbohydrates, not protein. Rice and macaroni are carbohydrates and are not high in protein. 2. A client is suspected of having a fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. To assist the client with this deficiency, the nurse informs the client that: 1 More exposure to sunlight and drinking milk could solve your nutritional problem 2 Eating more pork, fish, eggs, and poultry will increase your vitamin B complex intake 3 Increasing your protein intake will increase your negative nitrogen imbalance 4 Decreasing your triglyceride levels by eating less saturated fats would be a good health intervention for you ANS: 1 The fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K. With the exception of vitamin D, which can be obtained through exposure to sunlight, these vitamins are provided through dietary intake, including fortified milk. The B vitamins are not fat-soluble; they are water-soluble vitamins. Increasing protein intake will improve (decrease) a negative nitrogen imbalance, not increase it. Furthermore, increasing protein intake does not address the problem of a fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. 3. The client is diagnosed with malabsorption syndrome (celiac disease). In teaching about the gluten-free diet, the nurse informs the client to avoid: 1 Citrus fruits 2 Vegetables 3 Red meats 4 Wheat products ANS: 4 The treatment of malabsorption syndromes, such as celiac disease, includes a gluten-free diet. Gluten is present in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Citrus fruits, vegetables, and red meat do not contain gluten.
