This comprehensive NCLEX-style nutrition Q&A guide for 2025/2026 provides over 100 exam-relevant questions and rationales, designed to prepare students for the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exams with a strong emphasis on clinical nutrition scenarios. It includes multiple choice and select-all-that-apply (SATA) questions aligned with current nursing standards and real patient case applications. Each question is followed by a clear rationale to reinforce core concepts and help learners understand the “why” behind each correct response, not just memorize facts. Ideal for individual study or classroom use. Topics featured in this guide include: Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies: Vitamin A, C, D, K, iron, folic acid, calcium, and fluoride — including food sources, absorption tips, and nursing implications. Therapeutic & Modified Diets: Mechanical soft, pureed, low-residue, low-fat, and clear liquid diets, with teaching points and culturally sensitive examples. Enteral & Parenteral Nutrition: Steps for glucose monitoring, tube feeding care (residuals, positioning, formula safety), and nursing actions to avoid complications like diarrhea. Nutrition in Special Populations: Guidance for elderly clients, clients with swallowing difficulties, vegetarians, those recovering from surgery, and patients with chronic conditions like liver disease, anemia, or diabetes. Weight Management & Energy Balance: Addressing obesity, excessive caloric intake, and metabolic demand from conditions such as burns and pneumonia. Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Health: Identifying foods high in fat and cholesterol, and low-fat alternatives appropriate for heart-healthy diets. Herbal & Supplement Use: Safety precautions and teaching related to St. John’s Wort, saw palmetto, and interactions with medications, surgery, and sun exposure. Nursing Priorities & Interventions: Clinical judgment in meal assistance, prioritization of nutritional issues, and education strategies across developmental stages.
