RD EXAM #3: CDR Study Guide Latest
Updated
Which action would be most effective in conserving utility resources? - ANS-properly
using and maintaining equipment
Which of the following is an example of a secondary prevention program? - ANS-
osteoporosis education classes for postmenopausal women
After iron-fortified cereal, which of the following foods would be the best to introduce to
an infant next? - ANS-pureed carrots
The relationship among positions and functions within a food service department are
indicated primarily by the: - ANS-organizational chart
A dietitian planning a health promotion program for state employees collaborates with
other health professionals to assess employee needs. The best way to gain health
information from the employee is: - ANS-health risk appraisal
A female client with newly diagnosed diabetes is 5'5" and weighs 212 pounds. Exam
and laboratory values reveal the following: blood pressure level of 145/95 mm Hg,
average fasting blood glucose of 150 mg/dl, average 2-hour postprandial glucose <200
mg/dl, and cholesterol of 250 mg/dl. What is the dietitian's most appropriate first
intervention? - ANS-educate the client about carbohydrate counting
Individual training of a new employee is sometimes delegated to a more experienced
employee. The primary disadvantage of this one-to-one teaching method is that it: -
ANS-results in inconsistent training and may perpetuate poor work habits
During a nutrition assessment before elective surgery, a client reports regularly taking a
multiple vitamin, a mineral supplement, and several natural herbal supplements. The
dietitian should: - ANS-investigate the supplements and discuss supplement use with a
physician
A patient with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis has the following laboratory test
results: BUN, 50 mg/dl, albumin, 2.8 g/dl; and calcium, 8 mg/dl. What recommendation
should the dietitian make to improve these laboratory values? - ANS-increase protein
intake
, A simple, targeted health-promotion message might ask consumers to eat: - ANS-five
servings of fruits and vegetables daily
A patient with dry, scaly skin and Bitot's spots has the classical signs of a deficiency in: -
ANS-vitamin A
Which of the following laboratory values would most likely indicate that dialysis is
necessary to maintain homeostasis? - ANS-serum creatinine 6.0 mg/dl; BUN 50 mg/dl
BUN: Cr ratio of >20:1 indicates a "pre-renal" state, in which BUN reabsorption is
increased due to acute kidney damage. This condition may be reversible and often does
not require dialysis therapy. Options A, B, and C are not correct because they fall into
this "pre-renal" category with ratios of 40:1, 30:1 and 25:1. A BUN:Cr ratio of <10:1
suggests reduced BUN reabsorption due to renal damage, and often suggests the need
for dialysis therapy. Option D falls into this category, with a ratio of 8.3 (50/6). Many
factors contribute to the decision about the best time to start dialysis.
Normal range for serum creatinine (which may vary somewhat with the individual
laboratory) is 0.6-1.5 mg/dl. Creatinine is increased in renal disease, and in catabolic
states, and decreased in very malnourished individuals and those with minimal muscle
mass. Normal range for BUN is 6-23 mg/dl.
BUN is increased in renal disease, and in cases of excessive protein catabolism,
gastro-intestinal bleed, and severe dehydration. It is increased in individuals with liver
failure. BUN is affected by intake of dietary protein.
he most accurate method of evaluating an in-service training session is to: - ANS-
measure the performance of employees before and after training
Skinfold thickness measurements are best for assessing which of the following
individuals? - ANS-a 36-year-old athlete
The management functions in which performance is measured and corrective action is
taken to ensure the accomplishment of an organization goal is known as: - ANS-
controlling
(note: corrective-controlling)
Transferring a staff member who is rumored to have chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease violates which of the following acts? - ANS-Americans with disabilities act
A study is being conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two different
interventions for reducing serum cholesterol levels. Changes in serum cholesterol
levels, nutrition knowledge, and attitudes and behaviors regarding the two interventions
will be assessed at the beginning and end of the study. What is the independent
variable of this study? - ANS-type of intervention
