Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Choice B, 'I will give my child rice cereal and crackers,' indicates a need for further teaching. Infants should not be given crackers at 8 months of age due to the risk of choking. Rice cereal is appropriate for infants, but it should be introduced carefully to avoid digestive issues. Choices A, C, and D are appropriate food choices for an 8-month-old infant, providing a variety of nutrients and textures suitable for their age and developmental stage.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct recommendation for managing gastroesophageal reflux disease is to avoid eating within 3 hours of bedtime. This helps prevent acid reflux by allowing food to digest before lying down. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Limiting fluid intake not related to meals is not a standard recommendation for managing GERD. Chewing on mint leaves may worsen symptoms as mint can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up. Seasoning foods with black pepper does not specifically help manage GERD.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct recommendation to increase calorie and protein intake for a client taking chemotherapy and losing weight is to add cream to soups (choice B), as it provides additional calories and proteins. Using milk instead of water in recipes (choice C) can also increase the calorie and protein content. Topping yogurt with fruits (choice A) can be a healthy choice but may not significantly increase calorie and protein intake. Increasing fluids during meals (choice D) may fill up the stomach, potentially reducing the intake of solid foods, which is not ideal when trying to increase calorie and protein consumption.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 tbsp peanut butter. 6 teaspoons of oil are equivalent to 2 tablespoons of oil. Peanut butter is a good source of oil and healthy fats. Choice A, 1 tbsp soft margarine, is incorrect because 1 tablespoon is not equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Choice B, 1?2 oz of nuts, is incorrect as nuts are not equivalent to oil-rich foods in this context. Choice D, 1 oz sunflower seeds, is incorrect because 1 ounce of sunflower seeds is not equivalent to 6 teaspoons of oil.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is one ounce of raisins. Raisins are a healthy option to add to oatmeal as they provide natural sweetness without added sugars. They are a good source of fiber and essential nutrients. Option A, one 1/8 teaspoon of salt, is not necessary for flavoring oatmeal. Option C, one tablespoon of low-fat margarine, may add unnecessary fat to the meal. Option D, one teaspoon of brown sugar, adds extra sugar, which should be limited in a diabetes-friendly diet.
