Nutritional Foundations and Clinical Applications 7TH Edition Chapter 1. Wellness Nutrition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. Examples of informal education include ding a workshop on coronary artery disease sponsored by the American Heart Association. ing a television show about diabetes. ing about food safety techniques in a high school economics course. ng a support group to help overcome an eating disorder. ANS: B Watching a television show about diabetes is an example of informal education because it is an experience that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support group would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal education.

A college student exercises regularly and generally eats a healthy variety of foods, is taking a course in general nutrition, buys locally produced food whenever possible, is an active member of an on-campus faith-based organization, and keeps a journal to help process her emotions. What else could be important for her to include in her life in order to develop her overall wellness? a.Growing some of her own food b.Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats c.Eating meals with friends throughout the week d.Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices ANS: C Wellness enhances a persons level of health through development of each of the six dimensions of health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health, spiritual health, and environmental health. Exercise and eating a health variety of foods help develop physical health; taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally produced food helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization helps develop spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The missing dimension in this example is development of social health; eating meals with friends throughout the week would add this dimension. Growing her own food would be another example of environmental health; keeping a food record would be another contributor to physical health; and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute to physical, intellectual, and emotional health.

For a client who is missing meals because of poor planning or is too busy to eat, emotional health can be affected by , which can cause confusion or anxiety. blood sugar levels blood sugar levels blood pressure mely low blood pressure ANS: D Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make it difficult to control emotions. Late night binges on snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a less direct effect on emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to maintain more constant blood sugar levels, which would actually have a positive effect on emotional health. Excessive caffeine consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.

The best example of the type of concern that is likely to be addressed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services when target goals for Healthy People 2030 are updated is rence for vegetarian eating patterns among white women. intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children. pread use of bottled water in higher socioeconomic groups. n use of protein and vitamin supplements in athletes. ANS: B Healthy People is used to set targets for health promotion to improve the health of all individuals. It addresses environmental and social issues that affect health outcomes. Low intake of fruits and vegetables by African American children is likely to have an adverse effect on their health and so may be addressed when target goals are set. Vegetarian eating patterns, use of bottled water, and use of protein and vitamin supplements do not necessarily have an adverse effect on nutritional health and so are less likely to be addressed.

An example of community support for health promotion is ing a young mother skills in safe food preparation. ing a television documentary about industry errors in food processing. ing fresh poultry packages with information about proper food storage. aware that Salmonella can be transmitted because of inadequate food preparation. ANS: C Food labeling information is an example of community support because it is a regulatory measure that supports new health-promoting behaviors within a social context. Teaching, watching television and awareness may increase knowledge, but they do not alter the social context by regulation or environmental change.

An example of a technique for health promotion is ising five times a week. supermarkets expanding the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables. ing a teenager how to choose healthier foods at fast-food restaurants. mation about the relationship of dietary intake and diet-related disorders. ANS: C Health promotion consists of strategies that are designed improve the health of individuals, families, groups, and communities, such as teaching a teenager how to choose healthier fast foods. Exercising regularly contributes to wellness, but it is not bringing about a change in health unless this is a change in behavior. Stocking a wider availability of fresh produce does not promote health, unless the supermarket uses specific strategies to encourage consumption. Information about the relationship between nutrients and disease is simply information unless it is used to promote behavior change.

For the efficient functioning and maintenance of the body, a person needs to consume sufficient amounts of . ents. als. ements. ANS: B The body needs sufficient amounts of all nutrients for efficient functioning and maintenance. Both fiber and minerals are needed, but each represents only one type of nutrient. Supplements are not always necessary because sufficient nutrients can often be obtained from food.

ANS: B Excess protein is broken down to amino acids and then used for energy or stored as body fat. This mans body will use some of this protein to increase muscle mass, but increasing protein intake beyond the amount needed does not increase muscle formation. Excess protein intake does not improve bone, joint, or brain health. DIF:Cognitive Level: ApplyingREFage 9 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity 18.

ANS: D Saturated fat intake is related to risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer. Monounsaturated fat intake has less effect on risk of these diseases. Dietary fiber intake should be increased to help reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The effects of protein intake on risk of these diseases are much less significant.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is able to assess the overall nutritional and health status of Americans because populations surveyed are representative of the total population. b. it focuses on ethnic and socioeconomic groups at greatest risk. c. it collects large volumes of survey data from all over the nation. y methods and standards are consistent from year to year. ANS: A Data from NHANES represent America overall because the survey populations are carefully selected to represent the total population. Their data therefore provide a better indication of the nations overall health than do large amounts of data from all over the country. It does not focus specifically on populations at high risk for disease. Standardization over time provides useful data on trends and changes but does not reveal the overall health of the nation.

ANS: A Members of an ethnic minority population can be very helpful in identifying needs and effective teaching strategies for people in their community and in encouraging people in the community to accept advice from nurses or other health professionals. They do not necessarily need to adopt American eating patterns; often these are less healthful than their traditional eating patterns. Setting up feeding programs does not promote positive self-efficacy. Visual aids may be helpful, but their use is not necessarily the best educational strategy.

A client has heard that nutrients can be converted to other nutrients in the body. He takes high-dose vitamin C supplements because he believes this will supply his bodys need for other vitamins. What would you tell him? a.He should switch to a multivitamin supplement instead of just vitamin C. b.Each vitamin has a specific function and needs to be supplied through a variety of foods. c.Vitamin C can provide only water-soluble vitamins, and he still needs to consume fat-soluble vitamins. d.Vitamin C supplements should be taken only when he has symptoms of a cold or influenza. ANS: B Vitamins cannot be converted into other vitamins; each has a specific function, and the best way to consume adequate amounts of each vitamin is to eat a variety of foods. Vitamin C is water soluble, but it cannot be converted to other water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin C is needed by the body at all times, not just when someone is ill. A multivitamin supplement would provide a better range of vitamins than just vitamin C, but it is still better to consume vitamins from food, rather than from supplements.
