This test bank provides a chapter-by-chapter compilation of exam-style questions—mostly multiple‐choice and true/false, with some short answer or scenario items—corresponding to the 25 chapters of the 13th edition. It covers the full spectrum of nutrition topics, from foundational matters (e.g., nutrition & health, digestion, macronutrients, micronutrients) through lifecycle and community nutrition (e.g., pregnancy, aging, obesity) and into clinical applications (e.g., nutrition assessment, metabolic stress, disease‐specific diet therapy). The questions are designed both for instructors to build quizzes/exams and for students to test and reinforce their understanding of key nutrition principles and diet therapy applications.
