Exam 1
Order of nutrition care process - Correct Answer ✔✔ - assessment, screening, intervention,
monitoring and evaluation
what would creatine and nitrogen help indicate on chem 7 panel? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - kidney
failure
what would blood glucose help indicate on chem 7 panel? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - risk or presence
of diabetes
what would Co2 help indicate on chem 7 panel? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - acidosis
what would Potassium help indicate on chem 7 panel? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - level of risk for CKD,
heart failure, and transplant patients
what research is not - Correct Answer ✔✔ - Looking really hard for information on a topic
Reading a lot of journal articles on a topic
Transferring and summarizing facts from what you read
what research is - Correct Answer ✔✔ - a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and
interpreting information/data to answer questions to extend knowledge.
Prospective study - Correct Answer ✔✔ - starting today and looking forward
retrospective study - Correct Answer ✔✔ - starting now and looking at their history
longitudinal study - Correct Answer ✔✔ - following overtime
most effective form of research - Correct Answer ✔✔ - meta analysis
goal standard form of research - Correct Answer ✔✔ - randomized-control trials
lowest quality of research - Correct Answer ✔✔ - anecdotal
second lowest quality of research - Correct Answer ✔✔ - Ideas, expert opinions, editorials,
commentary
Inborn errors of metabolism - Correct Answer ✔✔ - genetic disorder, caused by a mutation of one
gene or small group of related genes, that results in the inability to use macronutrients (CHO, PRO,
FAT) for energy storage and synthesis
, what is the MNT for PKU - Correct Answer ✔✔ - life long low Phe diet and supplementation of
medical food (4 oz of AA or GMP supplement four times a day)
for classical PKU this means 250-500 mg of Phe per day which is 5-10 g of intact protein per day
Common signs and symptoms of IEM - Correct Answer ✔✔ - Failure to thrive
seizures
Developmental delay
Cognitive impairment
Metabolic acidosis
Vomiting
Hypotonia: abnormally low level in muscle mass caused by conditions that affect the brain and
central nervous system
How are most IEM's inherited? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - as autosomal recessive genes: meaning both
parents are carriers
nutritional genomics - Correct Answer ✔✔ - general broad term encompassing, nutritional
genetics, nutrigenomics, nutritional epigenomics, and everything else that examines how nutrients
and genes interact, and how these interactions are expressed to reveal phenotypic outcomes,
including disease risk
nutritional genetics - Correct Answer ✔✔ - impacts of genetic differences between people and how
this impacts responses to dietary intake, as well influence on overall health
what factors lead to elevated Phe levels in people with PKU? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - 1) Excessive
Phe intake, aka too much protein
2) Inadequate protein of Phe intake (body starts to break down muscle
3) Tissue catabolism due to malnutrition (inadequate food intake) or illness
Phe exchange - Correct Answer ✔✔ - 15 mg= 1 phe ecchange
what are some high protein foods are excluded from low Phe diet - Correct Answer ✔✔ - dairy,
soy, nuts, etc.
what other common foods are excluded from low Phe diet - Correct Answer ✔✔ - normal breads,
pasta, and starchy vegetables
what are the only foods that have no Phe? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - fat and pure sugar
is obesity in individuals with PKU higher for men or women? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - women
how much Phe is in a regular piece of bread? - Correct Answer ✔✔ - 120-122 mg
