Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Glucose is burned more efficiently and more completely than either protein or fat, and it does not leave an end product that the body must excrete. The other sugars all break down, leaving end products that the body must excrete.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The nurse should explain that carbohydrates are classified as simple and complex, and what is commonly thought of as sugar is an example of a simple carbohydrate. Sugars, as a form of carbohydrates, are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Not all sugars are sweet; only the simple sugars are sweet. Carbohydrates are not harder to digest than sugars because sugars are a form of carbohydrate.
