During a nutrition consultation, the client verbally attacks the nutrition counselor, stating
that the weight-loss goals are unrealistic and that no one could ever actually achieve them.
She then she starts crossing and uncrossing her legs.
What nonverbal message is the client most likely trying to express?
Correct answer: Anxiety
In this situation, the client's verbal communication expresses aggression when she directly
attacks the counselor, but her nonverbal communication expresses anxiety by the physical act
of crossing and uncrossing her legs.
Other nonverbal communication methods include folding arms across the chest to express
avoidance and moving a chair farther away to express discomfort.
Carla is putting together a nutrition education program for low-income adults who have
diabetes. Which of the following is the first step she would take in the DESIGN Procedure?
(what are the steps for DESIGN?)
The DESIGN Procedure has six steps:
D - Decide behaviors (Select the behavior change goals for managing diabetes)
E - Explore determinants (Survey low-income adults with diabetes about how they think
managing their diabetes would be beneficial)
S - Select theory-based model (Select social cognitive theory as the theory-based model)
, I - Indicate objectives (Decide on identifying carbohydrate-containing foods as one objective of
the education program)
G - Generate plans
N - Nail down evaluation
REE facts
--Greater lean body mass equates to a higher REE.
--Females' REE changes during the menstrual cycle.
--Fever increases REE by about 7% for each degree above 98.6oF.
--Heat produced by the high-metabolic-rate organs (liver, brain, heart, spleen, intestines and
kidneys) contributes to about 60% of the REE.
Inversion,
cross-linking,
gelatinization,
dextrinization
Inversion: the hydrolysis of sucrose with an acid to form a mixture with equal amounts of
fructose and glucose. Invert sugar is an example of an inversion, and the result yields a product
that is sweeter, higher in moisture, and less prone to crystallization than sucrose.
Cross-linking: the linking of polymer bonds that prevents deterioration in starches by creating a
shorter texture. Gelatinization is the swelling that occurs when starch is heated in almost boiling
water and causes a paste to thicken. Dextrinization is the process of heating starch without
water, causing starch molecules to break into fragments.
