Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the functions of protein? a. Proteins can be a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carbohydrate intake. b. Proteins are a necessary nutrient to provide energy for the body in times of stress. c. Proteins can be used as coenzyme factors during cell metabolism. d. Proteins are essential to building and repairing tissues within the body. SELECTED ANSWER: D The primary function of proteins is to provide amino acids, which are the building units necessary to building and repairing tissues within the body. This is a constant process that ensures adequate growth and maintenance of tissues for a strong body.

The number of kilocalories provided by one slice of bread that contains 30 g carbohydrate, 3 g protein, and 1 g fat is kcal. a. 34 b. 136 c. 141 d. 306 SELECTED ANSWER: C Calculate as follows: Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal/g, protein provides 4 kcal/g, and fat provides 9 kcal/g. Therefore: 30 g carbohydrate 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal 3 g protein 4 kcal/g = 12 kcal 1 g fat 9 kcal/g = 9 kcal = 141 total kcal (120 kcal + 12 kcal + 9 kcal) DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 4 TOPIC: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation 9. The number of kilocalories from fat in a sandwich that contains 22 g fat is kcal. a. 88 b. 132 c. 154 d. 198 SELECTED ANSWER: D Fat provides 9 kcal/g. Thus, 22 g fat 9 kcal/g = 198 kcal. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 4 TOPIC: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation 10. The number of kilocalories from protein in a sandwich that contains 15 g protein is kcal. a. 45 b. 60 c. 75 d. 135 SELECTED ANSWER: B Protein provides 4 kcal/g. Thus, 15 g protein 4 kcal/g = 60 kcal. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p. 4 TOPIC: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity: Physiological Adaptation 11. The basic building units of protein are called acids. a. fatty b. amino c. nucleic d. carboxyl SELECTED ANSWER: B The basic building units of protein are amino acids, which are necessary for building, repairing, and maintaining body tissues.
