Wendys Training Practice Test

The choice that is not safe to serve in a nursing home cafeteria for breakfast is soft-boiled eggs. This is primarily due to the risk of undercooking associated with soft-boiled eggs. They may not reach a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria like Salmonella, which can pose a significant health risk, especially to vulnerable populations such as elderly residents in nursing homes.

In contrast, hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal, and scrambled eggs are generally considered safe options. Hard-boiled eggs are cooked thoroughly, making them safe, while oatmeal, being a hot cereal, offers warmth and nutrition without the risk of undercooking. Scrambled eggs, when properly cooked to a safe temperature, also present a nutritious choice without the same food safety concerns as soft-boiled eggs. Therefore, soft-boiled eggs are the option that should be avoided in such settings.
