Q. Which of the following techniques offers the least constructive information to someone
being disciplined?
Providing advice
Focusing on behavior
Providing alternatives
Focusing on observations—ANSWER--The correct answer is A.
The purpose of disciplining is for a manager to provide constructive information to help the
subordinate become aware of how his or her actions affect the organization's system. The
goal is to provide maximum information with minimum threat. Providing advice is not
constructive. Feedback should focus on ideas and information, not advice.
Q. Which of the following characteristics is key to an efficient and effective system?
,Continuous response and adaptation to the system
Flow of resources
Interdependency of parts
Achievement of subunit objectives—ANSWER--The correct answer is C.
A system is a collection of interrelated parts or subsystems unified by design to obtain one or
more objectives. Interdependency is the reciprocal relationship of the parts of a system;
each part mutually affects the performance of the others. Interdependency emphasizes the
importance of viewing the organization as a whole rather than as isolated parts. The other
responses (ie, continuous response and adaptation to a system, flow of resources through a
system, and achievement of subunit objectives) all are isolated parts of a system.
Q. One advantage of using a crossover design over a parallel design is
it requires a shorter study duration.
a larger sample size is used.
there is a reduction in variability.
a washout period is not needed.—ANSWER--The correct answer is C.
Crossover design includes a washout period and does not have to be a shorter study
duration. The advantage to crossover design is that it uses the same subjects who serve as

,the control, thus receiving the same treatment, resulting in a reduction in variability. This
reduction in variability allows for a smaller sample size.
Q. Customer and employee satisfaction are both
functions of management.
linking processes.
environmental factors.
outputs of the foodservice system.—ANSWER--The correct answer is D.
The outputs are the goods and services that result from transforming the inputs of the
system and express how objectives are achieved. Customer and employee satisfaction and
financial accountability are desired outcomes in a foodservice system.
Q. Daily Values are nutrient standards derived from the Daily Reference Values and the
Reference Daily Intakes.
Recommended Dietary Intakes.
Reference Dietary Allowances.
Recommended Daily Allowances.—ANSWER--Daily Values are nutrient standards derived
from the Daily Reference Values (DRV) and Reference Daily Intakes (RDI). DRVs are provided
for total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, sodium, potassium,
, and protein. RDIs are provided for vitamins; minerals; and protein for children younger than
4 years of age and for pregnant and lactating women. In order to limit consumer confusion,
however, the label includes a single term (ie, Daily Value [DV]), to designate both the DRVs
and RDIs.
Q. If a person with type 1 diabetes experiences dramatically low blood glucose and becomes
unconscious, the most appropriate action would be to
give three hard candies and administer insulin.
give 4 oz fruit juice and administer insulin.
give 4 oz fruit juice and administer glucagon.
administer glucagon and call 9-1-1..—ANSWER--The correct answer is D.
Since the patient is unconscious/unresponsive, glucagon should be administered as the first-
line treatment. A glucagon injection will mobilize glucose from the liver to raise the blood
sugar level. This treatment minimizes risk of choking for patients who are not conscious.
Contact emergency services immediately after administering the glucagon injection.
Q. When the diet is adequate in protein, the body can synthesize niacin from which amino
acid?
Phenylalanine
