The ability of the body to digest protein occurs at different levels depending on the source of the protein. What is the approximate protein digestibility for soy and legumes?
 
  A) 85 B) 90 C) 95 D) 100

Question 2

The nurse is explaining about fats to a community group. A member of the audience says, I have always been told fats are bad and I should eliminate them from my diet; is that right? The nurse should explain that fats:
 
  1. Need to be severely restricted for good health.
   2. Are the worst of the major nutrients.
   3. Lead to cardiovascular disease.
   4. Are part of a healthy diet.

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Protein digestibility is over 90 for soy and legumes, 90 to 99 for animal proteins, and 70 to 90 for other plant proteins.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The nurse should explain that fats are necessary to good health and should be part of every good diet. Fats should make up about 30 of an adult diet, preferably unsaturated fats. Unless there is a medical reason, fats should not be severely restricted. There is no hierarchy of nutrients; all are necessary for good health. Fats do not lead inevitably to cardiovascular disease when consumed in recommended amounts.
