This exam-focused Nutrition NCLEX 2025/2026 study guide provides over 100 fully solved, rationalized questions that prepare students for real clinical nutrition scenarios tested on the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exams. Designed around the core themes of malnutrition, obesity, therapeutic diets, enteral and parenteral nutrition, vitamin deficiencies, and metabolic care, this resource includes evidence-based, scenario-style NCLEX questions with clear, concise rationales. Each question targets critical thinking, clinical application, and test readiness, making this an ideal study companion for nursing students and professionals preparing for U.S. licensure. What this resource covers: Malnutrition Risk Assessment: Interpreting nutritional health scores, identifying high-risk populations (e.g., elderly, IBD patients), and environmental adjustments to promote intake. Vitamin Deficiencies & Anemia: Focus on megaloblastic anemia and the need for B12 in vegan diets; vitamin C and iron absorption; thiamine-rich food support. Tube Feeding & Enteral Nutrition: Clinical protocols to verify feeding tube placement, flushing guidelines, medication administration through tubes, and nursing interventions to avoid clogging. Parenteral Nutrition (TPN): Nursing considerations for clients receiving TPN, blood glucose monitoring, and recognizing complications like hypovolemic shock. Obesity Management & Medication Effects: Includes questions on medications that lead to weight gain (e.g., corticosteroids) and FDA-approved treatments like orlistat, including expected side effects. Post-Bariatric Surgery Nutrition: Patient education on discharge dietary progression (liquids/pureed diets), risks of gastric distension, and nutritional supplementation post-gastroplasty. Appetite Stimulants: Use of medications such as cyproheptadine hydrochloride to support clients recovering from eating disorders or severe malnutrition. USDA Dietary Guidelines: Daily food group servings and modifications to align with national recommendations. Ideal for: NCLEX-RN & NCLEX-PN candidates (2025/2026 exam cycle) BSN, ADN, LPN/LVN nursing students International nurses preparing for U.S. licensure Medical and public health students focusing on clinical nutrition Nursing tutors and instructors developing NCLEX-style review tools This A+ graded resource is realistic, practical, and clinically grounded—essential for mastering nutrition-related nursing care and exam success.
