16. Mr. Katz, who is 48 years old, is admitted to the hospital with a fracture to his left hip.
He weighs 248 lb (54 lb above his desired weight). He is considered to be in a state of
overnutrition. The statement most true regarding his state of overnutrition is that
a. Desired nutrients are consumed in excess amounts without the risk of malnutrition.
b. Because excess body fat is evident and excess calories are consumed,
there is no risk of nutrient deficiency leading to malnutrition.
c. Even though excess body fat and excess nutrient intake are evident, there still
may be a risk for some type of nutrient deficiency leading to malnutrition.
d. Excess body weight may or may not be present along with excess consumption of
carbohydrates and fat, which results in inadequate vitamin and mineral intake.
, Answer: c
Overnutrition results from excess nutrient and energy intake over time, resulting in excess
weight and a state of obesity. Malnutrition can result from excess body weight and the lack of
vitamin- and mineral-rich food consumption (e.g., consumption of fatty and carbohydrate-
rich foods only).

17. Which is least likely to be a primary cause of malnutrition?
a. Conditions of poverty
b. Prolonged hospitalization
c. Homelessness
d. Exercise
Answer: d
Malnutrition appears when nutritional reserves are depleted and nutrient and energy intake is
not sufficient to meet day-to-day needs or the additional requirements necessary during periods
of stress, thus exercise is not a factor.

a. Overeating at a meal.
b. Excess nutrient and energy intake over time.
c. Eating a diet with too much variety.
d. Using dietary supplements.
Answer: b
Overnutrition results from excess nutrient and energy intake over time or occurs when
excessive amounts of nutrient supplements are consumed, resulting in tissue-damaging
effects.
