Below are sample questions from this exam to help you understand the content and format.
Q1: The nurse reminds the patient that the salivary glands excrete saliva, which starts the digestion of:
Answer Choices:
🥖 Saliva contains amylase, an enzyme that begins the chemical breakdown of starches (complex carbohydrates) into simpler sugars right in the mouth.
🥖 This is the first step of digestion before food even reaches the stomach.
🥖 Fats are primarily digested in the small intestine by bile and lipase.
🥖 Proteins are broken down by pepsin in the stomach.
🥖 Fiber is mostly undigested and contributes to bowel regularity.
Q2: The patient eats a lot of Mexican dishes. In trying to cut down on fat intake, they should.
Answer Choices:
🥗 Soft tacos are typically made with non-fried tortillas, which significantly reduce fat content compared to fried taco shells.
🥗 Choosing preparation methods that avoid frying is a key way to lower dietary fat without eliminating cultural foods.
🥗 Hot peppers don’t reduce fat content—they may increase metabolism, but they don’t “cut the fat.”
🥗 Avoiding all Mexican dishes is unnecessary and overly restrictive.
🥗 Cheese enchiladas are generally higher in fat than lean meat versions, but soft tacos are still the better swap.
Q3: A patient admitted to the acute care facility through the emergency department has jewelry and a large amount of money. The most efficient intervention for these valuables would be:
Answer Choices:

🔐 This protects the patient’s property and the facility from liability.
🔐 While sending valuables home with family is acceptable if they are present, it is not always immediately possible.
🔐 The narcotics cabinet is for medication only.
🔐 Storing items in the closet is insecure and risks loss or theft.
Q4: A mainstay of the Asian diet that is a good source of protein is
Answer Choices:
🥢 Soybeans are a central protein source in many Asian diets, providing complete plant-based protein.
🥢 They are used in forms like tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and edamame, and offer essential amino acids.
🥢 Rice is a staple carbohydrate, not a protein source.
🥢 Mushrooms and bamboo shoots have some nutrients, but they are very low in protein.
Q5: The most commonly lost items when a patient is transferred are
Answer Choices:
💍 Patient valuables—such as jewelry, money, watches, or glasses—are the most commonly lost items during transfers.
💍 These items are small, easily misplaced, and often not documented properly when patients move between departments or facilities.
💍 Durable medical equipment is typically labeled and tracked.
💍 Personal grooming items and papers/magazines are less valuable and less likely to be reported if missing.
