MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Each of the following is true regarding designations for professionals in the field of nutrition except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: D

A dietetic technician, registered (DTR) normally works under the supervision of a registered dietitian. Like the registered dietitian, the DTR must pass a national registration examination and receive continuing education. Although the DTR can complete a 4-year curriculum, there also is a 2-year option. Regarding the distinction between the registered dietitian and the nutritionist, all registered dietitians are nutritionists, but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians.

REF: p. 3

2. Nutrition is the process by which living things use food to obtain nutrients for energy, growth and development. Energy is the measure of heat equivalent to 1000 calories needed to do work.

ANS: C

The second statement confuses energy with the definition of a kilocalorie. Energy is the ability or power to do work. Kilocalories are related in that the potential energy value of foods within the body is expressed in terms of the kilocalorie. More frequently, the term calorie is used incorrectly. A kilocalorie (kcal) is a measure of heat equivalent to 1000 calories.

REF: pp. 3-4

3. Increase in consumption of which of the following has the greatest effect on an increase in body weight?

ANS: D

There is little evidence that any individual calorie food group (carbohydrate, protein, fat) has a unique effect on body weight. Kilocalories are the key factor to controlling body weight—not the proportions of fat, carbohydrates, and protein, but balancing caloric intake with energy expenditure.

REF: p. 6

4. Each of the following is true regarding weight maintenance except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: C

Like energy-producing nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), kilocalories from alcohol must be balanced with energy expenditure. In short, kilocalories from alcohol contribute to weight gain in the same manner as any other substance consumed.

REF: p. 10 | p. 13

5. Dietary guidelines recommend lowering caloric requirements for older adults because metabolic rate increases with age.

ANS: C

Metabolic rate decreases with age. For this reason, the caloric requirements are lowered. Failure to lower the caloric intake without an accompanying increase in expenditure of energy will result in weight gain. For older individuals, this can be very serious because joint and cardiac function can be further stressed.

REF: p. 4

6. The terms calorie and kilocalorie are synonymous and can be used interchangeably. The term kilocalorie is an older term, often associated with the metric system.

ANS: B

The terms calorie and kilocalorie are not synonymous. Although they are used interchangeably, this is incorrect. They are both metric units and have different values. A kilocalorie is a measure of heat equivalent to 1000 calories. The term calorie is incorrectly used in discussing nutrition; kilocalorie is the appropriate term.

REF: p. 4

7. Each of the following nutrients provide energy except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: D

Vitamins do not provide energy, nor do minerals. Although proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and alcohol provide energy, the body cannot use energy from the energy-containing components of food without adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals.

REF: p. 4

8. Increasing the variety of foods often causes nutrient excesses and toxicities. A dietary change to eliminate or increase intake of one specific food or nutrient usually alters the intake of other nutrients.

ANS: D

Increasing the variety of foods is recommended to reduce the probability of developing isolated nutrient deficiencies, nutrient excesses, and toxicities resulting from nonnutritive components or contaminants in any particular food. For example, because red meats are an excellent source of iron and zinc, decreasing cholesterol intake by limiting these meats can reduce dietary iron and zinc intake.

REF: p. 4

9. Precursors are substances from which an active substance is formed. Nonessential nutrients cannot be synthesized from other substances.

ANS: C

Nonessential nutrients can be used by the body; they either are not required or can be synthesized from dietary precursors. Carotene is a precursor to vitamin A. It is found in fruits and vegetables and is converted to an active form of vitamin A by the liver.

REF: p. 4

10. Which nutrient is the most important?

ANS: D

Water is the most important nutrient. After water, nutrients in highest priority are those that provide energy, which must be provided from foods or can be supplied from quantities stored in the body.

REF: p. 4

11. The human body has adaptive mechanisms that tolerate modest ranges in nutrient intakes. The metabolic rate usually increases to compensate for decreased caloric intake.

ANS: C

The metabolic rate usually decreases to compensate for decreased caloric intake. This is an adaptive mechanism that “saves” energy for future needs in situations of decreased nutritional intake.

REF: p. 4

12. Healthy People (HP 2020), issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has resulted in a reduction of deaths from cardiovascular disease, stroke, and some cancers. It also has resulted in decreased dental caries in children aged 2 to 4 years and adults aged 53 to 44 years.

ANS: C

Although progress has been made in some areas, other areas show declines in health. Dental caries increased for the age groups identified in the question. There has also been an increase in the number of overweight and obese Americans, and little to no progress in the area of reducing health disparities for minority and low-income groups.

REF: p. 5

13. Each of the following accurately describe aspects of the dietary reference intakes (DRIs) published by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: C

The dietary reference intakes (DRIs) were intended for planning and assessing diets of healthy Americans and Canadians. They are inappropriate for malnourished individuals or patients whose requirements are affected by a disease state. The DRIs replace an earlier publication, the recommended daily allowances (RDAs). Note that there is also a new RDA which is intended as a goal for achieving adequate intakes.

REF: p. 5

14. Which set of guidelines is intended to assess nutrient adequacy or planning intakes of population groups, not individuals?

ANS: B

The estimated average requirement (EAR) is the amount of a nutrient that is estimated to meet the needs of half of the healthy individuals in a specific age and gender group. This set of values is useful in assessing nutrient adequacy or planning intakes of population groups, not individuals.

REF: p. 5

15. The average amount of a nutrient that seems to maintain a defined nutritional state is measured by the:

ANS: C

To overcome shortcomings in both the EAR and the RDA, an AI was established. Derived from mean nutrient intakes by groups of healthy people and based upon scientific judgments, an AI is the average amount of a nutrient that seems to maintain a defined nutritional state. Values were established for various life stages for several nutrients, including fluoride. AMDRs were established for the macronutrients, fat, carbohydrate, protein, and two polyunsaturated fatty acids, to ensure sufficient intakes of essential nutrients.

REF: p. 6

16. Each of the following is true of the acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDRs) except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: A

AMDRs were established for the macronutrients, fat carbohydrate, protein, and two polyunsaturated fatty acids. The goal of the guideline is to ensure sufficient intakes of essential nutrients, while reducing risk of chronic disease.

REF: p. 6

17. Acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDRs) are expressed as a percentage of total energy intake, because an intake of each depends on intake of the others or of the total energy requirement of the individual. Increasing or decreasing one energy source while consuming a set amount of kilocalories affects the intake of the other sources of energy.

ANS: A

An example of one source of energy being substituted for another: If an individual who routinely consumes 2,000 kcal decides to reduce amount of fat, either the protein or carbohydrate intake would need to increase proportionately.

REF: p. 6

18. The nutrient-based reference value that is defined as dietary energy intake predicted to maintain energy balance in healthy individuals of a defined age, gender, and weight is the:

ANS: B

The estimated energy requirement (EER) is similar to the EAR. The major difference is that the EAR is the amount of a nutrient that is estimated to meet the needs of half of the healthy individuals in specific groups, whereas the EER addresses all healthy individuals in terms of age, sex, weight, height, and physical activity. Because energy requirement depends on activity level, four different activity levels are provided.

REF: p. 6

19. Each of the following is true regarding considerations that a dental hygienist must make when making dietary recommendations except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: A

DRIs are designed as an assessment guide for healthy patients only. These guidelines apply to average daily intakes, and they should be met by consuming a variety of foods whenever possible. Patients with specific illnesses or dietary imbalances should be referred to as registered dietitian.

REF: pp. 5-6

20. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines, released in 2011, reflect the preponderance of scientific evidence based on current nutrition-related health problems and contain technical information. MyPyramid, released with the 2010 publication, translates the dietary guidelines into a consumer-friendly form for the public.

ANS: C

In 2010, the well-known food guide MyPyramid was replaced with MyPlate. This new food guidance system provides assistance in implementing the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines and the DRI from the Institute of Medicine. MyPlate is a system that includes interactive websites and educational modules. This resource can be referenced at www.chooseMyPlate.gov.

REF: p. 7

21. Each of the following accurately describes features of MyPlate except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: C

MyPlate provides more specific and personalized dietary guidance to help individuals achieve a healthful lifestyle through better eating and increased physical activity. It is more specific in certain areas than MyPyramid was. In addition, MyPlate is designed as a food guidance tool for the general public and not a therapeutic diet for any specific health condition.

REF: p. 16

22. The messages of MyPlate convey include each of the following except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: B

Although any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the fruit group, MyPlate suggests that people minimize fruit juice. Because of their fiber content, fresh, frozen, canned, or dried fruits are recommended. Note that the physical activity tab has links that discuss methods for incorporating an individualized exercise plan. The “Super Tracker” and MyJournal can help to plan, analyze, and track food intake and physical activity. Note that milk products, especially fat-free or low-fat, should be incorporated

REF: p. 16

23. Surveys show that most Americans eat only about half of the recommended vegetables per week. The high water and high-fiber content of vegetables counteract the low levels of cholesterol present in many dark-green vegetables.

ANS: C

Vegetables do not contain cholesterol. They are primary sources of the required nutrients dietary fiber, vitamin A (carotenoids), vitamin C, folic acid, and potassium. The total amount of red, orange, and dark-green vegetables recommended per week is 7 cups, but surveys show that most American eat only about 3.5 cups per week.

REF: p. 18

24. Which of the following food provides the most protein?

ANS: A

Beans are an unusual vegetable because they are in both the vegetable and protein groups. Beans contain protein, fiber, calcium, folic acid, and potassium.

REF: p. 18 | p. 19

25. It is difficult for consumers to identify whole grain products, because labeling is inconsistent and color is a poor indicator.

ANS: A

The difficulty in identifying whole grains is a major barrier to consuming adequate amounts of whole grains. Descriptive labels such as “100% wheat,” “stone ground,” and “multigrain” do not guarantee whole grain. In addition, color is a poor indicator because molasses or caramel food coloring may be added.

REF: p. 19

26. Each of the following is true of dietary considerations from the milk and milk product groups except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: D

Whole milk and many cheeses are high in saturated fat and can have negative health consequences. Low-fat or fat-free milk products provide little or no fat and should be chosen most often to avoid consuming more kilocalories than needed.

REF: p. 19

27. The dairy group includes butter and cream because they are high in calcium, riboflavin, and protein.

ANS: E

High-fat products such as butter and cream are not included in the dairy products group, because they are not high in calcium, riboflavin, and protein.

REF: p. 19

28. Consumption of milk and milk products can promote the achievement of peak bone mass in children and adolescents. Studies indicate that higher dairy consumption is associated with decreased dental caries, but has no effect on periodontal disease.

ANS: C

Studies indicate that higher dairy consumption correlates with decreased prevalence and severity of both dental caries and periodontal health.

REF: p. 19

29. Current scientific evidence shows that most people consume only half the required amount of protein. Protein supplements promoted to increase muscle mass contain several amino acids not easily absorbed from foods.

ANS: B

Most people consume approximately twice as much protein as they need. Although this may not be harmful, high-fat meats may be an undesirable source of kilocalories, cholesterol, and fatty acids. Protein supplements do not contain nutrients important for health other than what foods provide. These should be used only after consulting a healthcare provider or registered dietitian.

REF: p. 19

30. Macronutrients include each of the following except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: E

Vitamins and minerals are considered micronutrients. Macronutrients are defined as being the classes of chemical compounds humans consume in the largest quantities and which provide bulk energy. Conversely, micronutrients are needed by the body in small amounts.

REF: p. 19

31. Which bread has the most magnesium?

ANS: B

Whole wheat bread has 23 mg of magnesium per serving whereas enriched white, whole grain, and rye contain 7, 20, and 13 mg respectively.

REF:p. 14 | Table 1-2

32. Each of the following daily reference values (DRVs) is correct except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: E

The daily reference value for fiber is 25 g. Note that the daily reference values (DRVs) do not appear on the nutrient label. Instead the term daily value appears on the label for ease of understanding and reflects the DRV and the DRI standards to encourage a healthy diet. In addition, the DRI for protein has been established for certain groups. The 50 g of protein in the DRV is for adults and children older than 4 years of age only.

REF:p. 24 | Table 1-6

33. The process of restoring iron, thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid, and niacin removed during processing to approximately their original levels is called:

ANS: B

The process of restoring nutrients removed during processing is called enrichment. This process is controlled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USDA), which establishes the quantity of nutrients that can be added. White bread is an example of a highly enriched product. Fortification is the process of adding nutrients not present in the natural product or increasing the amount above that in the original product. Satiety is the feeling of fullness provided by food. Fats provide more satiety than do lean proteins. Ghrelin is an appetite-stimulating hormone that is suppressed by proteins better than by carbohydrates and lipids.

REF: p. 13

34. The nutrient facts panel was established by the USDA and the FDA to improve health and well-being by enhancing nutritional knowledge. Nutrient content claims describe a relationship between a food or food component and reduced risk of a disease or health-related condition.

ANS: C

Two categories of claims currently can be used on food labels: nutrient content claims and health claims. Nutrient content claims describe the percentage of a nutrient in a product relative to the daily value. Health claims describe a relationship between a food or food component and reduced risk of a disease or health-related condition.

REF: p. 21

35. Each of the following is true of terminology on food nutrition labels except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: D

For ease of labeling, although nutrient label information uses the term daily value, the amounts for the nutrients are based on the reference daily intake (RDI). Recall that the RDI is usually larger than the RDA for a specific age/gender group.

REF: p. 24

36. Qualified health claims must be supported by qualified experts because although they are supported by some evidence, they do not meet the scientific standard.

ANS: D

Health claims on foods are limited and regulated in an effort to protect consumers. Although qualified health claims are supported by some evidence, they do not meet scientific standards. For this reason, qualified claims must be accompanied by a disclaimer as specified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Such a health claim must use the exact wording specified by the FDA. The other type of health claim, unqualified, must be supported by qualified experts agreeing that a relationship exists between the nutrient and product and a specific disease.

REF: p. 25

37. The Nutrition Facts Panel on brownie mix shows the following: 1 serving is one twentieth of the mix. Each serving contains 120 calories, 20 calories from fat, 17 g of sugar, and 10 g of protein. What is the approximate percentage of sugar in the brownie mix?

ANS: C

Approximately 57% of the brownie mix is sugar. This is calculated by (1) multiplying the number of grams of sugar in a product by 4 kcal/g, (2) dividing this number by the total number of kilocalories per serving, and (3) multiplying by 100 to establish the percentage of calories as sugar. Note that the label incorrectly uses the term calorie; the correct term is kilocalorie.

REF: p. 25

38. Unsweetened juices and milk contain significant amounts of sugars because of the natural content of simple carbohydrates.

ANS: A

This is confusing for some patients because both beverages are encouraged in appropriate amounts. Looking at “sugars” on the label can be misleading, whereas the total carbohydrate in the product more closely reflects actual carbohydrate content.

REF: p. 27

39. Each of the following is true of obesity except one. Which is the exception?

ANS: C

Statistics are discouraging in ethnic groups (Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans, and Alaska natives) because the prevalence of obesity is markedly higher than in white Americans.

REF: pp. 28-30

40. Each of the following is true regarding body weight in relation to height except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: E

Although BMI is the current preferred method of evaluating weight in relation to height, it has inherent weaknesses as a diagnostic guide. For example, a frail or inactive person with a normal-range BMI can have excess body fat and not appear out of shape. BMI reflects overall fat distribution and is cheap and quick. BMI is not appropriate for pregnant and nursing women, infants, and children younger than age 2 years, nor is it appropriate for some athletes with a large percentage of muscle.

REF: pp. 9-10

41. Each of the following are usual results of bariatric surgery except one. Which one is the exception?

ANS: D

This drastic but effective measure typically results in a longer life because of the positive health effects that accompany sustained weight loss in obese patients. Side effects include altered absorption of many nutrients, pulmonary embolism, and some postoperative deaths.

REF: p. 29
