Almonds

Fish

Avocado

Butter

Cheese

Olive oil

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,C,F

A. Almonds: Almonds are a plant-based source of unsaturated fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), making them a heart-healthy alternative to saturated-fat foods.

B. Fish: Many fish (especially fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines) are rich in unsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which support cardiovascular health.

C. Avocado: Avocado provides predominantly monounsaturated fat and is considered a healthy unsaturated-fat food choice.

D. Butter: Butter is high in saturated fat and is not a recommended source of unsaturated fats on a low–saturated-fat heart-healthy diet.

E. Cheese: Cheese typically contains significant saturated fat (though amounts vary by type) and is not a primary source of unsaturated fats.

F. Olive oil: Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and is recommended as a healthier fat option in heart-healthy diets.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Percussion, inspection, palpation, and auscultation: Beginning with percussion before visually inspecting the abdomen disrupts the standard flow of assessment; inspection is normally the first step to note contour, scars, or distension.

B. Inspection, auscultation, palpation, and percussion: Starting with inspection then auscultation follows recommended practice (listen before you manipulate); percussion and palpation are then listed, but most textbook guidance places percussion before palpation to avoid altering bowel sounds.

C. Inspection, palpation, auscultation, and percussion: Palpation before auscultation can change bowel sounds and is generally avoided because palpation may introduce or alter bowel noises.

D. Palpation, auscultation, inspection, and percussion: Palpation first can disturb findings and inspection should come before hands-on techniques; this sequence does not follow standard abdominal assessment order.

A. Gauze pads B. Transparent dressing C. Hydrocolloid dressing D. Ace wrap

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Gauze pads: Gauze dressings are absorbent, can be layered or packed to manage moderate to heavy exudate, and are commonly used when high absorbency is needed.

B. Transparent dressing: Transparent (occlusive) dressings allow visualization and are for minimal exudate or to cover IV sites; they are not highly absorbent.

C. Hydrocolloid dressing: Hydrocolloid dressings absorb light to moderate exudate and promote moist healing but are not the most absorbent option for moderately heavy drainage.

D. Ace wrap: An ACE wrap is an elastic bandage used for compression/support, not for absorbing wound exudate.
