Question 1 of 5
Which is NOT a characteristic or function of lipids?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Lipids are known for several functions including involvement in energy metabolism and storage (Choice A), providing insulation and protection (Choice B), and acting as hormones that regulate the body (Choice C). However, lipids are not hydrophilic (water-attracting), contrary to choice D. They are actually hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and do not mix well with it.

Question 3 of 5
What type of gastrointestinal complication is most likely to be caused by the use of antibiotics to treat H. pylori infection?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, Altered taste sensation. The use of antibiotics is known to cause changes in taste sensation as a side effect, especially when used to treat H. pylori infections. Hemoptysis (Choice A) refers to coughing up blood, and while it can be a symptom of various conditions, it is not typically associated with the use of antibiotics. Flatulence (Choice C) and bloody stools (Choice D) can also occur as gastrointestinal complications, but they are not the most likely side effect when treating H. pylori with antibiotics. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
What is the primary goal of a dental hygienist when making dietary recommendations for a patient with a new dental prosthesis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The primary goal of a dental hygienist when making dietary recommendations for a patient with a new dental prosthesis is to promote healing and repair. This can be achieved by ensuring the patient maintains an adequate and nutrient-dense diet. This is why option 'A' is the correct answer. Option 'B' is incorrect because while liquids are easier to consume with a new dental prosthesis, a diet consisting only of liquids for a week may not provide all necessary nutrients. Option 'C' is incorrect because while a variety of fibrous foods can contribute to a healthy diet, it's not specifically relevant to the healing and adjustment to a new dental prosthesis. Option 'D' is incorrect because eating as usual may not be feasible or comfortable for a patient with a new prosthesis, and it doesn't specifically focus on promoting healing and repair.
