Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Simple carbohydrates are broken down and absorbed quickly, providing a quick source of energy. Examples are sugars such as those derived from fruit (fructose), table sugar (sucrose), milk products (lactose), and blood sugar (glucose). Complex carbohydrates are composed of starches, glycogen, and fiber. They take longer to break down prior to absorption and utilization by the body's cells.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Stage III pressure ulcers are full-thickness wounds that extend into the subcutaneous tissue but do not extend through the fascia to muscle, bone, or connective tissue. There may be undermining or tunneling present in the wound. Stage IV pressure ulcers involve exposure of muscle, bone, or connective tissue such as tendons or cartilage. Stage II pressure ulcers are partial-thickness wounds that involve the epidermis and/or dermis.
