250 Exam-Style Questions with Verified Answers
and Rationales
Qn 1. Which type of carbohydrate is composed of long chains of monosaccharides and
is not digestible by human enzymes?
A A. Starch
B B. Glycogen
C C. Cellulose
D D. Sucrose
Correct Answer: C. Cellulose
Rationale: Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide) composed of long chains of
glucose units linked by beta-glycosidic bonds, which human digestive enzymes cannot
break. Starch is digestible, glycogen is digestible and stored in animals, and sucrose is a
disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose.
Why Wrong:
A. A: Starch is digestible by human enzymes (alpha-amylase).
B. B: Glycogen is digestible and stored in animals.
C. D: Sucrose is a disaccharide that is digestible.

Practice Guidelines.
Qn 2. A client asks the nurse about complete proteins. Which food is a source of
complete protein?
A A. Rice
B B. Beans
, C C. Eggs
D D. Peanut butter
Correct Answer: C. Eggs
Rationale: Complete proteins contain all nine essential amino acids in sufficient amounts.
Eggs are a complete protein source. Rice, beans, and peanut butter are incomplete proteins
(lacking one or more essential amino acids), although combining them can create a
complete protein profile.
Why Wrong:
A. A: Rice is an incomplete protein, lacking lysine.
B. B: Beans are an incomplete protein, lacking methionine.
C. D: Peanut butter is an incomplete protein, lacking methionine.

Qn 3. A client with diabetes is learning about carbohydrate counting. How many grams
of carbohydrate are in one carbohydrate serving (exchange)?
A A. 5 grams
B B. 10 grams
C C. 15 grams
D D. 20 grams
Correct Answer: C. 15 grams
Rationale: One carbohydrate serving (exchange) contains 15 grams of carbohydrate. This is
the standard unit used in carbohydrate counting for diabetes management. Five grams is
too low, 10 grams is not standard, and 20 grams is too high.
Why Wrong:
A. A: 5 grams is less than one carbohydrate serving.
B. B: 10 grams is not a standard carbohydrate serving.
C. D: 20 grams is more than one standard serving.
