Ms. C has been reading about trans fats in the media. She read that trans fats are monounsaturated fats that are used in margarine, snacks and baked goods to extent their shelf life.
 
  What she does not understand is the difference between trans-monounsaturated fats and cis-monounsaturated fats. The nurse responds by explaining that: 1. Trans-monounsaturated fats decrease LDL and increase HDL, whereas cis-monounsaturated fats decrease LDL and HDL.
   2. Trans-monounsaturated fats increase both LDL and HDL, whereas cis-monounsaturated fats increase LDL and HDL.
   3. Trans-monounsaturated fats increase LDL and decrease HDL, whereas cis-monounsaturated fats may mildly decrease or not effect LDL or mildly increase or not affect HDL.
   4. Trans-monounsaturated fats decrease LDL but have no effect on HDL, whereas cis-monounsaturated fats decrease LDL but have no effect on HDL.

Question 2

An example of a breakfast that would meet the School Breakfast Program requirements would be
 
  a. scrambled egg, bacon, toast, and orange juice.
  b. cold breakfast cereal with milk, toast with honey.
  c. toast with peanut butter, banana, and milk.
  d. turkey sausage, hash browns, ketchup, and milk.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The effect of monounsaturated fats depend if they are in the trans or cis configuration. Trans-monounsaturated fats increase LDL and decrease HDL levels, two negative effects. Cis-monounsaturated fatty acids may produce a mild decrease in LDL levels or have no effect, and produce a mild increase or have no effect on HDL levels.

Answer to Question 2

C
School Breakfast Program requirements indicate that a breakfast must include a serving of milk, a serving of fruit, and two servings of meat and/or bread and cereal. Toast (bread serving), peanut butter (meat serving), banana (fruit serving), and milk (milk serving) meets this requirement. Scrambled egg (meat serving), bacon (meat serving), toast (bread serving), and orange juice (fruit serving) is missing milk. Cold breakfast cereal (bread serving ), milk (milk serving), and toast with honey (bread serving) is missing fruit. Turkey sausage (meat serving), hash browns with ketchup (vegetable serving), and milk (milk serving) is missing a serving of meat or bread.
