Nutrition Nursing Final Exam Questions
And 100% Accurate Answers.
1) A patient is admitted to the hospital with a history of liver dysfunction associated with hepatitis. With
which metabolic problem does the nurse anticipate that this patient may have a problem?
1. Emulsifying fats
2. Digesting carbohydrates
3. Manufacturing red blood cells
4. Reabsorbing water in the intestines - Answer Answer:
1
Rationale:
Bile is produced and concentrated in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. As fat enters the duodenum,
it precipitates the release of cholecystokinin, which stimulates the gallbladder to release bile. Bile, an
emulsifier, enlarges the surface area of fat particles so that the enzymes can digest the fat.
2) A nurse is assessing a patient who is admitted to the hospital with withdrawal from alcohol. Which
effect of alcohol on the body will influence the patient's plan of care?
1. Interferes with the absorption of glucose
2. Accelerates the absorption of medication
3. Decreases the absorption of many important nutrients
4. Lengthens passage time of stool through the intestinal tract - Answer Answer:
3
Rationale:
Alcohol interferes with vitamin intake, absorption, metabolism, and excretions. It specifically interferes
with absorption of vitamins A, D, K, thiamine, folic acid, pyridoxine, and B12.
3) An obese resident of a nursing home who is receiving a 1500 calories a day weight reduction diet has
not lost weight in the last 2 weeks. Which should the nurse do FIRST?
1. Inform the primary health care provider of the patient's lack of progress
2. Instruct the patient to limit intake to 1000 calories a day
, 3. Schedule a multidisciplinary team conference
4. Keep a log of the oral intake for 1 day - Answer Answer:
4
Rationale:
When the expected outcome of an intervention is not attained, the situation must be reassessed to
determine the problem and the plan changed appropriately. A record of dietary intake provides objective
information about the amounts and types of food consumed. This information provides data about
nutrient deficiencies or excesses, eating patterns, behaviors associated with eating, and potential
problems and needs.
5) A patient is diagnosed with a Vitamin A deficiency. Which type of pie should the nurse encourage the
patient to ingest?
1. Blueberry
2. Pumpkin
3. Cherry
4. Pecan - Answer Answer:
2
Rationale:
Pumpkin is an excellent source of Vitamin A. One piece (one sixth of a 9-inch diameter pie) contains
3,750 mcg RE (retinol equivalents) of vitamin A.
6) A patient is anorexic due to stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth and lips) related to chemotherapy.
Which should the nurse be MOST concerned about when planning care for this patient?
1. Aspiration
2. Dehydration
3. Malnutrition
4. Constipation - Answer Answer:
3
Rationale:
Stomatitis, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, can be painful. Patients with
stomatitis frequently avoid eating to limit discomfort, which can lead to inadequate nutritional intake
and malnutrition.
