CDR Final Exam Question and Answer.
(most common mistakes)
"Legal scopes of practice for the health care professions establish which professionals
may provide which health care services, in which settings, and under which guidelines
or parameters. With few exceptions, determining scopes of practice is a state-based
activity. State legislatures consider and pass the practice acts, which become state
statute or code. State regulatory agencies, such as medical and other health
professions' boards, implement the laws by writing and enforcing rules and regulations
detailing the acts." An individual's scope of practice in nutrition and dietetics has flexible
boundaries to capture the breadth of the individual's professional practice. Individuals
and organizations must ethically take responsibility for determining the practitioner's
competence to provide a specific service. Not all RDNs and NDTRs will practice to the
full extent of the range of nutrition and dietetics practice.
A study that looks back in time to reconstruct exposures and the resulting health
outcomes for a group of people free of the disease or condition being studied is termed
a:
retrospective cohort study.
correlational study.
prospective cohort study.
prevalence study. - Answer The correct answer is A.
A retrospective cohort study looks back; the cohort is the group of people studied to see
who develops the characteristics of interest and who do not
A 56-year-old male client presents to the ambulatory clinic for a team visit. Physical
exam reveals: Height: 5'9"; weight: 223 pounds; body mass index (BMI) 33; blood
pressure: 168/96; heart rate 74. Pertinent laboratory results : hemoglobin A1c: 7.0%,
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): 2.0 mU/L, Medications: Metformin (Glucophage
1000 mg daily), Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg, Lisinopril 20 mg. Review of symptoms:
positive for daytime sleepiness, wife complains of loud snoring. Mood: affect appears to
be good. Despite excellent adherence to DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop
Hypertension) meal plan, blood pressure continues to be elevated. What is the best
explanation for his elevation in blood pressure and daytime somnolence?
A drug/drug interaction of hydrochlorothiazide and Metformin
Untreated thyroid disease
Undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea
Untreated depression - Answer The correct answer is C.
, In addition to having demonstrated CDR's core competencies, all entry-level registered
dietitian nutritionists must have _____.
demonstrated additional competencies for at least one emphasis area.
a letter of reference from the director of the supervised practice program.
demonstrated cultural competency.
passed an exam documenting their knowledge of the Standards of Professional
Practice. - Answer The correct answer is A.
The core competency statements build on appropriate knowledge and skills necessary
for the entry-level practitioner to perform reliably at the level indicated. One or more of
the emphasis areas are added to the core competencies so that a supervised practice
program can prepare graduates for identified market needs.
ACEND requires dietetics education programs to offer an emphasis area in order to
_____.
prepare each entry-level RDN for advanced practice
prepare each entry-level RDN as a specialist
ensure that each entry-level RDN has had the opportunity to experience cutting-edge
practice
prepare each entry-level RD to begin to develop the depth necessary for future
proficiency in that area of dietetics practice - Answer The correct answer is D.
. Supervised practice program prepares graduates for practice at the entry-level. The
emphasis of the program reflects the unique environment of the program rather than a
specialty or advanced-practice. Specialty or advanced practice take, on average, 3
years of intensive practice post-exam. Competencies for each emphasis are built on the
core competencies and are designed to begin to develop the depth necessary for future
proficiency in that area of dietetics practice. More experience in at least one area
provides a model for learning throughout one's career.
The minimum number of additional competencies that ACEND requires a program to
have to support its emphasis area is _____.

9 - Answer The correct answer is C.
For establishing an emphasis area, All dietitian education supervised practice programs
must offer at least one emphasis area the program has the following options: (1) Use
one or more of the four defined emphasis areas; (2) Develop a general emphasis by
selecting a minimum of seven competency statements, relevant to program mission and
goals, with at least one from each of the four defined emphasis areas; the selected
competencies should build on the core competencies; or (3) Create a unique emphasis
