any conflicts of interest is unethical - Answer-true

year in payments - Answer-5000
which type of conflict is this: a researcher's judgment on a research topic is biased
bc they have a strong attachment to a specific point of view - Answer-personal
conflict
for an IRB application, which of the following is NOT necessary - Answer-food
samples if doing a food study
if your research involves a survey, it is likely to fit into which IRB category - Answer-
exempt
if an RDN is involved in a quality improvement project at work, the project is
generally not considered research when it is meant for internal use only and is very
specific to the facility - Answer-true
Study Summary: The aim of the study was to feed fruit flies (in the very young larval
stage) a control diet or a high-sugar diet to see whether they became insulin
resistant and obese, risk factors strongly associated with type 2 diabetes. Results
showed that larvae on the high-sugar diet became insulin resistant, hyperglycemic,
and fat (Palanker Musselman et al., 2011).
-Is the study quantitative or qualitative?
-Is the study basic or applied?
-Is the primary purpose of the study to explore, describe, analyze, or predict?
-Is the study experimental? - Answer--quan
-basic
-analyze
-yes experimental
Study Summary: The aim of the study was to see if there is a link between children
being overweight or obese and developing asthma. Using results from 48 previously
published studies, the researchers found a significant, but weak, association
between high body weight and asthma (Papoutsakis et al., 2013).
-Is the study quantitative or qualitative?
-Is the study basic or applied?
-Is the primary purpose of the study to explore, describe, analyze, or predict?
-Is the study experimental? Is the study epidemiological in nature? - Answer--qual
, -basic
-explore
-not experimental, study is epidemiological in nature
which of the following is a source of original research - Answer-international journal
of obesity
which of the following is an example of secondary research - Answer-review articles
which type of review article is more rigorous - Answer-systematic
which type of research articles uses a statistical technique called a meta-analysis -
Answer-systematic
gray lit includes which of the following - Answer-all the above
which search will give you more results "constipation AND fiber" or "constipation OR
fiber" how else will the results be diff? - Answer-"constipation OR fiber"
databases search all fields including your keyboards, having AND will concentrate
results to those that have both constipation and fiber involved
Study Summary: The purpose of this research was to examine studies on the effect
of low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets on weight and cardiovascular disease risk. The
authors found 17 randomized control trials that met their criteria for their meta-
analysis. Results showed that each diet was associated with significant weight loss
and reduction in cardiovascular disease risk (Mansoor, Vinknes, Veierod, &
Retterstol, 2015).
-Is the study primary or secondary research?
-Is the study a narrative or systematic review?
-Is the study a conference proceeding? - Answer--secondary
-systematic
-not a conference proceeding
Study Summary: The objective of the study was to test whether adding a dietitian to
a hospital discharge team for geriatric patients would improve the nutritional status of
those patients over 6 months. Geriatric patients were randomly assigned to either
the regular discharge team or the discharge team with the dietitian. All patients were
at least 70 years old and determined to be at nutritional risk. The dietitian gave each
discharged patient three home visits within 8 weeks of discharge. Nutritional status
was measured using weight, muscle strength, and other measures. Adding a
dietitian to the discharge team did improve the nutritional status of geriatric patients
(Beck et al., 2015).
-Is the study primary or secondary research?
-Is the study a narrative or systematic review?
-Is the study a conference proceeding - Answer--primary
-narrative
-not a conference proceeding
