Nutrients required in large
amounts (carbs, proteins, and fat)
microNUTRIENTS

slow disease progression.
True
If a client just lost a partner to a heart attack, the client may be likely be very interested in heart-healthy
foods. Perceived to be important
Discussions on meal prep for a family wouldn't be if the client is single and lives
alone. Relevant
Numerous studies, including genetic studies, randomized controlled trials on lipid lowering medications, and observational
studies point to LDL having a causal role in heart disease. Which term best describes the concept that LDL plays a causal role in
heart disease?
Theory
a proposed explanation for a problem or set of observations
hypothesis
"I tried this diet and lost 30 lbs." What type of evidence is this?
Anecdote
Scientists gather 20 studies looking at the relationship between protein intake and lean body mass, and then they statistically
analyze them together as a group. What type of study is this?
Meta-analysis
,Which of the following is an example of descriptive research?
Survey
Scientists perform a study comparing 1000 women with breast cancer to 1000 women without breast cancer. They gather
information on the women's diets and look to see if the women diagnosed with breast cancer had more fat in their diet
compared to the women who did not get cancer. Which term best describes this study?
Case-control study
Which term encompasses the weight of the scientific evidence, field observations, and individual client
needs? Evidence-based practice
Scientists find that a protein supplement increases lean mass in the elderly. However, they caution that the results may not
apply to other populations, like younger people. What term best describes what the scientists are referring to?
External validity
A scientist proposes that sugar is inherently fattening, and performs a study comparing a high-sugar diet to a low-sugar diet with
equal calories. He finds that fat gain was the same between the diets. Which term describes how this study effects the initial
proposal?
Falsification
Which statement best describes science?
It is the use of evidence to construct explanations and predictions of natural phenomena.
Scientists perform a study looking at the effects of caffeine on vertical jump performance. On one day, they give all the
subjects caffeine followed by vertical jump tests. Two weeks later, they give all the subjects a placebo followed by the same
vertical jump tests. Which term best describes this study design?
crossover
Which term refers to a hypothesis or set of hypotheses for which a large body of high quality evidence has been accumulated?

Communicable disease
Infectious diseases caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can be spread (directly or
indirectly) from one person to another.
A noncommunicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is not caused by infectious agents; it can refer to
chronic diseases which last for long periods of time and progress slowly.
Noncommunicable
or NCDs, are by far the leading cause of death in the world, representing 71% of all annual deaths.
Noncommunicable diseases
(hear disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, stoke, unintentional injurues)
Preventable causes of death
1- tobacco smoking
2-overweight and
obesity 3-alcohol
4-infectious diseases
5-toxins
6- car accidents
,7- firearms death
8-STI
9-drug abuse
Which of the following components of the Illness-Wellness Continuum relate to a high level of wellness?
Awareness, education, and growth
the technical term for measurements and calculations related to human physical characteristics
Biometrics
A change in which of the following plays a significant role in reversing obesity?
dietary habits
To which of the following terms can 'non-communicable disease (NCD) also refer?
chronic diseases
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
The energy currency of life.
Which of the following are the primary molecules in our food that store energy within their chemical bonds?
Carbs, fats, protein
What molecules' bond is broken during the usage of ATP that results in an ADP molecule and the release of free energy to drive
muscle contractions?
Phosphate
Roughly what percentage of daily energy expenditure comes from the thermic effect of activity
(TEA)? 15-30%
Which of the following bodily functions are supported by a person's resting metabolism?
Breathing, Blood circulation, neurological
Which component of energy expenditure represents the easiest way to increase total daily caloric expenditure for individuals
focused on reducing body fat?
Non-exercise activity thermogenesis
Sleep deprivation (i.e., sleeping only 3.5-5.5 hours per night) has been shown to be responsible for which of the following
effects?
Reduced resting metabolic rate
Which of the following metabolic processes is stimulated by thyroid hormones?
Glycogenolysis
released by the stomach signals feelings of hunger, concentration affected by age, gender, blood, sugar, and leptin
