Question 1 of 5
For a patient with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), which dietary advice is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding fatty foods can help reduce the symptoms of GERD.
Question 2 of 5
Saturated fats are generally found in animal products with a few exceptions. Which of the following is a plant product that contains a large proportion of saturated fat?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Coconut oil is a plant-based oil that is high in saturated fat, unlike most other plant oils, which are typically unsaturated.
Question 3 of 5
Which risk factors increase the risk of atherosclerosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Smoking is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. It significantly contributes to the buildup of plaque in the arteries and thereby increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, exercise is generally beneficial for cardiovascular health and is not a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Excessive sun exposure and insufficient vaccinations have no established links to atherosclerosis, making them incorrect options for this question.
Question 4 of 5
Which nutrient is most important for pregnant women to prevent neural tube defects?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Folate (or folic acid) is crucial for the prevention of neural tube defects during pregnancy.
Question 5 of 5
What is the most important concern immediately after a myocardial infarction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Immediately after a myocardial infarction, the primary concern is to allow the heart to rest and heal to prevent further damage. This is why choice B is the correct answer. While choices A, C, and D might be a part of the long-term management plan following a myocardial infarction, they are not the immediate priority. Reducing cholesterol and saturated fat intake, as well as adjusting eating habits can help prevent future heart issues, but do not directly contribute to the immediate recovery post-myocardial infarction.
