what is dietetics? - ANS science concerned with nutritional planning and preparation of
foods
What is a Registered Dietitian? - ANS A professionally trained and educated (person)
in dietetics
What is nutrition? - ANS Nourishment, the food we eat and how the body uses it
What are the signs of good nutrition? - ANS Well developed body
Good muscle development
Clear eyes
Smooth skin
Good posture
Glossy hair
Alert
Ideal weight for body composition (ration of muscle mass to height)
Positive outlook
Resists infections
Normal appetite
Digestion & Elimination
Extended years of normal functioning
What is metabolism? - ANS The sum of all chemical changes that take place in the
body by which it maintains itself and produces energy for its functioning (products of the
various reactions are called metabolites)
To sustain life, nutrients in food must perform what three basic functions? - ANS
Provide energy
Build tissue
Regulate metabolic processes
What is the major function of protein? - ANS To build tissue
,In the functions of nutrients in food, what are the two energy sources? - ANS Primary
energy source
Secondary energy source
What nutrient in food does primary energy source consist of? - ANS Carbohydrates
What nutrients in food does secondary energy source consist of? - ANS Fats
Proteins
What is the Primary energy source of fuel for heat and energy in the body? - ANS
Carbohydrates
What is the primary energy source that maintains the body's back-up store of quick
energy? - ANS Carbohydrates
What primary energy source should provide 45% to 65% of total kilocalories for the
body? - ANS Carbohydrates
What is a secondary energy source that provides a SECONDARY (storage) form of heat
and energy? - ANS Fats
What secondary energy source should provide no more than 20% to 35% of total
kilocalorie for the body? - ANS Fats
What is a secondary energy source that it's primary function is tissue building? - ANS
Proteins
What secondary energy source should provide no more than 10% to 35% of total
kilocalories for the body? - ANS Proteins
What is the secondary source of energy when supply from carbohydrates and fats is
insufficient? - ANS Proteins
What provides amino acids for tissue building? - ANS Proteins
What is necessary for building and repairing tissues? - ANS Proteins
, Which vitamin/mineral is necessary for tissue building? (Collagen) - ANS Vitamin C
Which vitamin and/or mineral is necessary for building and maintaining bone? - ANS
Calcium and Phosphorus
Which vitamin and/or mineral is an essential part of hemoglobin in the blood? - ANS
Iron
What builds central fat substance of cell walls? - ANS Fatty Acids
What are the Energy Sources Fuel Factors (for the 3 Nutrients)? - ANS Carbohydrates
= each gram of carbohydrate consumed yields 4 Keal of body energy
Fats = each gram of fat consumed yields 9 keal of body energy
Proteins = each gram of protein consumed yields 4 keal of body energy
What also is a energy source for the body but is not a nutrient and its fuel factor? - ANS
Alcohol = provides 7 keal/gram for alcohol
What are the 4 nutritional states? - ANS Optimal Nutrition
Malnutrition
Under Nutrition
Over Nutrition
What does Nutritional States mean? - ANS Nutritional states determine the client's
health and nutritional status
What is Optimal Nutrition? - ANS Receives and uses nutrients from a variety of food, in
ideal amounts, resulting in balanced nutrition; which over variations in health and
disease and prides reserves for the body. (Basically a person is getting all of their
nutrients)
What is malnutrition? - ANS Receiving of less than the desired amounts of nutrients
resulting in greater risk for physical illness, limitations in physical work capacity, immune
system function and mental activity. (malnutrition is either eating too little or too much of
one or more nutrients)
