Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

During menstruation, girls lose some iron and should try to replace it by including iron-rich foods in their diet.

Choice A is wrong because the American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams per day.

Choice B is wrong because caloric needs vary depending on age, sex, height, weight, and level of physical activity.

Choice D is wrong because vitamin D is important for bone health and adolescents should not decrease their intake.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The accessory nerve is tested by evaluating the function of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles.

The trapezius muscle is tested by asking the patient to shrug their shoulders with and without resistance.

Choice A is wrong because following a light in the six cardinal positions tests the function of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI.

Choice B is wrong because moving their tongue in all directions tests the function of cranial nerve XII.

Choice C is wrong because showing their teeth while smiling tests the function of cranial nerve VII.

A. "A nurse will insert an IV prior to the test.” B. "We will measure the amount of protein in your baby's urine over a 24 hour period.” C. "The test will measure the amount of chloride in your baby's sweat.” D. "Your baby will need to fast for 8 hours prior to the test.”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Pilocarpine iontophoresis is a test used to diagnose cystic fibrosis by measuring the amount of chloride in a person’s sweat.

Choice A is wrong because an IV is not necessary for this test.

Choice B is wrong because the test measures chloride in sweat, not protein in urine.
