Explanation

• The sequence C-D-B-A creates a coherent and logical paragraph about portion control.
• Sentence (C) is the ideal opening as it introduces the central topic: ice cream.
• Sentence (D) naturally follows by instructing on how to find the standard serving size from the nutrition label.
• Sentence (B) describes the action of measuring the serving size that was just identified.
• Sentence (A) provides a concluding tip or observation about the visual effect of the portion size, which is a logical end to the sequence.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option B: This sequence starts with an action (B) without first introducing the topic (C) or establishing the serving size (D), making it illogical.
• Option C: This sequence begins with finding the serving size (D) before the main topic (ice cream) is even introduced by sentence (C), which is an illogical start.
• Option D: This sequence starts with a concluding observation (A) before any of the preceding actions (introducing, finding the serving size, measuring) have been mentioned.

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Sentence Rearrangement (Parajumbles) as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• This question tests logical reasoning, a skill crucial for nurses in prioritizing tasks and understanding procedural steps.
• The topic of portion control is directly relevant to patient education, especially for individuals with diabetes, obesity, or cardiovascular conditions.
• Nurses often teach patients how to read nutrition labels and manage their diet, making the content of this paragraph a practical example of patient counseling.

How to Approach the Question

• First, read all four sentences to get a general idea of the topic, which is portioning ice cream.
• Identify the introductory sentence. Sentence (C) is a clear opener as it introduces the subject.
• Look for logical links or chronological order. After introducing ice cream (C), the next step is to find out the serving size (D).
• Continue building the sequence. After knowing the serving size, you measure it (B).
• Identify the concluding sentence. Sentence (A) offers a final tip or observation, making it a good conclusion.
• Finally, review the complete sequence (C-D-B-A) to ensure it forms a smooth and logical paragraph.
