    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation

    Intake and Output (I&O) is the measurement of the amount of fluid the client takes into the body and the amount of fluid leaving the body.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Intake and Output (I&O) refers to the measurement of the fluid that is consumed by a client and the fluid that is excreted from the body. This includes both oral intake, such as drinking fluids, and other sources of fluid, as well as output, such as urine, sweat, and other bodily fluids. Monitoring I&O is important in assessing a client's hydration status and overall fluid balance. Therefore, the statement that I&O is the measurement of the amount of fluid the client takes into the body and the amount of fluid leaving the body is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. Answers 1, 2 and 3 are correct
    Explanation
    When a client has an illness, infection, or pressure sore, their body requires more energy to fight off the illness or infection and to heal the pressure sore. This increased energy requirement is met by consuming more calories. Therefore, all of the given answers (1, 2, and 3) are correct.

    • Cultural differences

    • Age

    • Impairments

    • All the answers are correct

    Correct Answer
    A. All the answers are correct
    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because all the options listed - cultural differences, age, and impairments - are examples of barriers to communication. Cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of messages. Age differences can affect the communication styles and preferences of individuals, making it challenging to effectively convey messages. Impairments, such as hearing or speech impairments, can hinder the ability to send or receive messages. Therefore, all these factors can create barriers in communication.

    Effective communication completes a cycle between two people.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Effective communication completes a cycle between two people because it involves both sending and receiving messages. It is a two-way process where information is shared, understood, and responded to. This cycle ensures that the message is accurately conveyed and that any feedback or clarification can be given. Without this back-and-forth exchange, communication would be incomplete and ineffective.

  • 9. 

    When serving food, you should make sure the client does nothing for themself because that is what you are being paid for.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because when serving food, it is not expected that the client does nothing for themselves. In fact, it is common courtesy for the client to participate in the dining experience by, for example, using utensils to eat, pouring their own drinks, or helping themselves to condiments. The role of the server is to assist and provide service, but it does not mean the client should do nothing.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The energy potential of food is measured in calories.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The energy potential of food is indeed measured in calories. A calorie is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of energy that food provides when consumed. It represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Therefore, when we talk about the energy content of food, we refer to the number of calories it contains. This information is crucial for individuals who want to manage their calorie intake and maintain a healthy diet.

Therefore, all of these options can be categorized as nutrients.

    • Use body language that shows interest

    • Give the speaker feedback

    • Avoid judging the person

    Correct Answer
    A. Interrupt the speaker if you must make a point
    Explanation

Interrupting can disrupt the flow of conversation and hinder effective communication.
