1. A community health nurse is planning a presentation on food

sustainability. Which of the following should be included as a primary

benefit of sustainable farming practices?

 A. Increased use of chemical fertilizers

 B. Enhanced food flavor and nutrient content

 C. Reduction in the variety of available crops

 D. Greater reliance on genetically modified organisms

 Answer: B. Enhanced food flavor and nutrient content

 Rationale: Sustainable farming practices focus on methods that promote

ecological balance, conserve biodiversity, and enhance soil fertility, often

resulting in improved flavor and higher nutrient content in food.

2. A nurse is assessing a patient's understanding of food sustainability.

Which statement by the patient indicates a need for further teaching?

 A. "I try to buy locally sourced vegetables to reduce carbon emissions."

 B. "Using reusable containers can help reduce the waste that comes from

food packaging."

 C. "Eating more plant-based meals can conserve natural resources."

 D. "Purchasing imported fruits is an example of supporting food

sustainability."

 Answer: D. Purchasing imported fruits is an example of supporting food

sustainability.

 Rationale: Buying imported fruits often means higher carbon footprints

due to transportation. Supporting local produce is more aligned with food

sustainability principles.

3. During a community health fair, a nurse explains the concept of food

deserts. Which of the following best describes a food desert?

 A. An area with a surplus of convenience stores and fast food restaurants

 B. A location with abundant access to affordable, nutritious food

 C. An urban area where it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality

fresh food

 D. A region where only organic food is available

 Answer: C. An urban area where it is difficult to buy affordable or goodquality fresh food

little to no access to stores that sell healthy, affordable food, which can

impact their ability to maintain a sustainable diet.
