1. Which of the following indicators is the most practical
parameter for screening nutrition status in elderly clients?
A) Serum albumin level
B) Triceps skinfold thickness
C) 24-hour dietary recall
D) Weight change
Correct Answer: D
*Rationale: Unintentional weight change is the most practical and
significant indicator of nutrition status in older adults. Weight loss
is associated with increased risk of depression, infection, poor
1
,nutrition status, and mortality. Serum albumin is less practical as it
requires a blood draw; triceps skinfold thickness requires calipers
and training; and 24-hour recalls can be subjective and
unreliable in this population .*
2. A patient consumes 1,800 kcal/day and has normal renal
and cardiac function. According to the 1 mL/kcal rule, what is
the minimum fluid requirement in liters per day?
A) 1.2 L
B) 1.8 L
C) 2.4 L
D) 3.6 L
Correct Answer: B
*Rationale: Daily fluid requirement = 1 mL per kcal consumed.
1,800 kcal × 1 mL = 1,800 mL = 1.8 liters. This standard
2
,calculation applies to patients with normal renal and cardiac
function who are not on fluid restrictions .*
3. A 20-year-old woman presents with fatigue, inability to
concentrate, pale skin, hemoglobin of 8.5 g/dL, and
hematocrit of 28%. She wears a sweater in a 78°F room.
These findings are most consistent with which condition?
A) Iron overload
B) Pernicious anemia
C) Megaloblastic anemia
D) Iron-deficiency anemia
Correct Answer: D
*Rationale: The combination of fatigue, pallor, cold intolerance,
low hemoglobin (normal: 12–16 g/dL), and low hematocrit
(normal: 37–47%) indicates iron-deficiency anemia. Cold
intolerance occurs due to reduced metabolic rate from
3
, decreased oxygen-carrying capacity. Pernicious anemia (B12
deficiency) typically presents with neurological symptoms;
megaloblastic anemia shows macrocytic red cells .*
4. Which biochemical test result is most appropriate for
screening clients in a public health clinic for anemia?
A) Transferrin
B) Hematocrit
C) Serum iron
D) Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hematocrit is a quick, inexpensive, and widely available
screening test for anemia. It measures the percentage of red blood
cells in whole blood. Transferrin, serum iron, and TIBC are more
specific but are not typically used for initial screening in public
health settings .
