BMI
Skinfold thickness
Abdominal body shape index
Waist circumference - ANS -Waist circumference
What is used to determine body density by measuring the amount of air displaced?
Bod pod machine
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
,Ultrasound - ANS -Bod Pod machine
What is a bod pod machine? - ANS -The bod pod machine uses air displacement

as accurate as underwater weighing.

vitamin B-12.

What is the order of the small intestine - ANS -Duodenum (connects to the stomach), Middle

Which enteral feeding access device will deliver nutrition past the ligament of Treitz?
Nasogastric
Nasoduodenal
Percutaneous jejunostomy
Percutaneous gastrostomy - ANS -The ligament of Treitz ligament marks the separation of the
