NTR 301 TEST 1-3 STUDY GUIDE
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION
The kindergarten teachers at Lacy Elementary asked you to teach the
students about the benefits of orange fruits and vegetables. You tell the
kindergarteners that eating lots of carrots can help them grow big and
strong and can help them improve their vision. This is because carrots are
high in an important nutrient called Vitamin A, which we must get from food.
Vitamin A is a(n) ... - ANSWER a. Non-Essential Nutrient
b. Conditionally Essential Nutrient
c. Phytonutrient
d. Essential Nutrient (Correct Answer)
If a 3-oz. salmon filet has ~17 g of protein, how many calories from protein
are in the salmon filet? - ANSWER a. 153 Calories
b. 204 Calories
c. 51 Calories
d. 68 Calories (Correct Answer)
Logan is going to In 'N Out for lunch and wants to keep their meal below 850
calories. If they have a cheeseburger that has 27 grams of fat, 39 grams of
carbohydrates, and 22 grams of protein and they have French fries that are
370 calories, was their meal below 850 calories? - ANSWER a. Yes. The
cheeseburger is 352 calories. Adding an extra 370 calories from the French
fries will mean that the total number of calories for the meal is 722, which is
,below the target goal of 850 calories.
b. No. The cheeseburger is 487 calories. Adding an extra 370 calories from
the French fries will mean that the total number of calories for the meal is
857, which is just over the target goal of 850 calories. (Correct Answer)
c. Yes. The cheeseburger is 462 calories. Adding an extra 370 calories from
the French fries will mean that the total number of calories for the meal is
832, which is below the target goal of 850 calories.
d. No. The cheeseburger is 547 calories. Adding an extra 370 calories from
the French fries will mean that the total number of calories for the meals is
917, which is well over the target goal of 850 calories.
Match the study description with the type of study. The answer choices are
found below, and you will drag the correct answer into the box. You may use
each answer more than once or not at all. This question is worth 12 points
because it is 3 questions in one. - ANSWER Study A: Researchers determine a
correlation between the per capita level of fat consumption and the death
from heart attacks in countries around the world. [Indirect (Observational)]
Study B: Researchers follow a cohort of children from the time they were in
kindergarten to the time they graduated high school to determine the
relationship between protein intake and ADHD diagnosis. [Direct
(Observational)]
Researchers conduct a study in which participants are randomly assigned to
either keep their diet the same or to increase their intake of fruits and
vegetables. At the end of the study, researchers determine if increased fruit
and vegetable intake decreases risk for diabetes. [Direct (Experimental)]
,Sleepy and Sneezy are comparing what they ate yesterday to what is
recommended by the Dietary Guidelines. Sneezy says, "I met the DRI for
vegetables, and not only that, I even had some green beans, just like the

my wheat bread at lunch." Which of the following comments would be
appropriate (correct) for Sleepy to make? - ANSWER a. "Technically there is
no DRI for vegetables."
b. "Unfortunately, your green beans are not the kind of 'peas' the Dietary
Guidelines recommend."
c. "Your wheat bread is not a whole grain product because it is not 100%
whole wheat bread."
d. B and C
e. All of the above (Correct Answer)
Vitamins are essential micronutrients that are present in the body in
relatively small amounts, so they have daily requirements that are relatively
large. - ANSWER False
Over the years, an increased understanding of nutrient needs among older
adults has led to a general decrease in most of the DRIs for this age group as
researchers have realized that the relative inactivity in this population
translates into lower nutrient requirements. - ANSWER False
, Monica is visiting the doctor for a routine physical exam and the doctor had
her complete a food diary prior to her appointment. Monica's food diary
indicates that on an average day she consumes 47% total calories from
carbohydrate, 38% total calories from fat, and 15% total calories from
protein. Which of the following results would be concerning to her doctor? -
ANSWER a. Monica's protein intake
b. Monica's carbohydrate intake
c. Monica's fat intake (Correct Answer)
d. Monica's protein and carbohydrate intake
e. Monica's fat and protein intake
There is an indirect relationship between nutrient intake and deficiency
diseases. - ANSWER False
If Aisha wants to look at dietary recommendations that are food-based,
which of the following should she look at? - ANSWER a. Upper Limits (ULs)
b. Dietary Guidelines for Americans (correct answer)
c. Daily Values
d. DRIs for fat, protein, and carbohydrates, expressed as percent of total
calories
