Which macronutrient has the highest energy density, providing approximately 9 kilocalories per gram?
Fiber
Protein
Carbohydrate
Fat
Fat provides about 9 kilocalories per gram, the highest energy density among macronutrients. Protein and carbohydrates each provide only 4 kilocalories per gram.
How many kilocalories per gram does carbohydrate supply?
9
1
7
4
Carbohydrates yield approximately 4 kilocalories per gram. Alcohol provides 7 kilocalories per gram and fat provides 9 kilocalories per gram.
Which dietary assessment method requires the client to recall all foods and beverages consumed in the previous 24 hours?
24-hour recall
7-day food diary
3-day food record
Food frequency questionnaire
The 24-hour recall asks clients to remember everything eaten or drunk in the past day. Food records and diaries involve prospective recording over multiple days.
In anthropometric assessment, what does the acronym BMI stand for?
Basal Metabolic Index
Body Mass Intake
Body Mass Index
Bone Mass Indicator
BMI stands for Body Mass Index and is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. It is a common measure of weight status.
What does the acronym RDA represent in nutrient reference values?
Required Daily Allowance
Recommended Dietary Allowance
Reference Daily Amount
Resting Daily Allowance
RDA stands for Recommended Dietary Allowance, which is the average daily nutrient intake level sufficient to meet the requirements of nearly all healthy individuals in a specific group.
Which laboratory marker is most sensitive to detect short-term changes in protein status?
Creatinine
Serum albumin
Prealbumin
Transferrin
Prealbumin has a short half-life of about 2 days, making it sensitive to recent changes in protein intake. Serum albumin has a longer half-life and reflects more chronic status.
Which dietary intake assessment tool is designed to estimate an individual's usual intake over a long period, typically months?
24-hour recall
3-day food diary
Diet history interview
Food frequency questionnaire
A food frequency questionnaire asks how often specific foods are consumed over an extended period. It is used to assess habitual intake rather than short-term consumption.
Which equation is commonly used to estimate basal metabolic rate based on weight, height, age, and sex?
Schofield equation
Mifflin-St Jeor equation
Harris-Benedict II equation
Cunningham equation
The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is widely used for estimating basal metabolic rate because of its accuracy across different populations. Harris-Benedict is older and somewhat less precise.
The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) is defined as the nutrient intake level estimated to meet the needs of what proportion of healthy individuals in a specific group?
50%
25%
100%
75%
The EAR meets the estimated nutrient requirement for 50% of healthy individuals in a group. RDAs are set higher to cover nearly all (97 - 98%) individuals.
Which dietary pattern is specifically recommended to help manage hypertension by emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy?
Mediterranean diet
DASH diet
Vegetarian diet
Ketogenic diet
The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy to help lower blood pressure. It is an evidence-based recommendation.
An elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine ratio above 20:1 most commonly suggests which condition?
Renal failure
High protein diet
Dehydration
Liver disease
A BUN/creatinine ratio above 20:1 typically indicates reduced blood volume or dehydration. In renal failure, both BUN and creatinine rise but the ratio often remains lower.
According to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR), what percentage of total energy intake should come from fat for adults?
20 - 35%
10 - 20%
35 - 50%
45 - 65%
The AMDR for fat in adults is 20 - 35% of total energy intake. This range balances essential fatty acid needs and cardiovascular health.
Which anthropometric measurement is most useful for assessing central adiposity and associated metabolic risk?
Waist circumference
Triceps skinfold thickness
Body mass index
Hip circumference
Waist circumference directly measures abdominal fat and is strongly correlated with metabolic risk factors. BMI does not differentiate fat distribution.
Which dietary assessment method involves the most detailed weighing and measuring of all foods and beverages consumed?
Food frequency questionnaire
Weighed food record
24-hour recall
Diet history interview
A weighed food record requires clients to weigh and record all food and drink consumed, offering detailed intake data. Other methods rely on recall or estimates.
A strict vegan diet places an individual at increased risk for deficiency of which nutrient?
Vitamin K
Vitamin C
Vitamin A
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, so vegans often require fortified foods or supplements. Other vitamins are more widely available in plant sources.
Using the adjusted body weight formula ABW = IBW + 0.25*(Actual âˆ' IBW), what is the adjusted body weight for a patient with an actual weight of 120 kg and an ideal body weight (IBW) of 70 kg?
82.5 kg
95 kg
100 kg
70 kg
Adjusted body weight = 70 + 0.25*(120âˆ'70) = 70 + 12.5 = 82.5 kg. The 25% correction accounts for excess adipose tissue in obese patients.
In planning a 2000 kilocalorie diet where carbohydrates provide 50% of the energy, how many grams of carbohydrate should be included daily?
500 g
100 g
200 g
250 g
Fifty percent of 2000 kilocalories equals 1000 kilocalories from carbohydrates. Since each gram provides 4 kcal, that equals 250 grams per day.
Which combination of laboratory values is most indicative of iron deficiency anemia?
High ferritin, low TIBC
Low ferritin, high TIBC
High ferritin, high TIBC
Low ferritin, low TIBC
Iron deficiency anemia presents with low ferritin (depleted iron stores) and high total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) as the body increases transferrin production.
Which technique is considered the gold standard for directly measuring resting energy expenditure in clinical practice?
Indirect calorimetry
Direct calorimetry
Doubly labeled water
Bioelectrical impedance analysis
Indirect calorimetry measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to calculate resting energy expenditure. It is the practical gold standard in clinical settings.
Which acute-phase protein is used primarily as a marker of inflammation rather than a direct indicator of nutritional status?
Prealbumin
Serum albumin
C-reactive protein
Transferrin
C-reactive protein is an acute-phase reactant that rises in response to inflammation. Albumin and prealbumin are influenced by nutritional status but also by inflammation.
