NCP Questions with Answers (100% Correct
Answers)
primordial prevention— Answer: Preventing the development of CVD risk
factors in children and preventing future CVD by effectively managing any
identified risk factors
primary prevention— Answer: Involves risk factor reduction in patient with no
evidence or diagnosis of a disease
what are 3 examples of primary prevention— Answer: smoking cessation,
decreasing LDL, or decreasing BP
what is considered the most effective approach for reducing disease
prevalence— Answer: primary prevention
secondary prevention— Answer: risk factor reduction in patients who have
evidence or diagnosis of disease (atherosclerosis)
tertiary prevention— Answer: risk factor reduction in patient who have already
experienced disease complications (MI)
what are the 5 biomarkers of impaired iron status— Answer: hemoglobin,
ferritin, transferrin, soluble transferrin receptors, and erythrocyte
protoporphyrin
what is the most common nutrient deficiency in the US?— Answer: iron
deficiency
what is the most common cause of anemia— Answer: iron deficiency
what is hemoglobin— Answer: an iron containing molecule in RBCs that
carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
when does hemoglobin become abnormally low— Answer: in the last stage of
iron depletion
, 2
is hemoglobin a suitable indicator or early iron deficiency? why— Answer: no,
because it does not become abnormally low until the last stage of iron depletion
hemoglobin does not distinguish between....— Answer: iron deficiency anemia
and anemia of inflammation
what is ferritin— Answer: the primary intracellular iron-storage protein that is
an acute phase protein
as iron stores decrease.... what happens to ferritin— Answer: ferritin decreases
what is the most sensitive indicator of early iron deficiency— Answer: serum
ferritin concentration
when is ferritin increased and why— Answer: during acute and chronic
inflammation because it is an acute phase protein
what is transferrin— Answer: the primary iron transport protein
how is iron transported in the blood— Answer: bound to transferrin
Under normal circumstances, _______% of transferrin iron binding sites are
"saturated" with iron— Answer: 30%
what happens to transferrin during iron deficiency— Answer: transferrin
saturation decreases and total iron binding capacity increases
serum concentration of soluble transferrin receptors is directly proportional to:
..... especially when?— Answer: the body's requirement for iron, especially in
the erythrocyte producing cells of the bone marrow
when does serum concentration of soluble transferrin receptors increase—
Answer: in early iron deficiency before anemia develops
when is serum concentration of soluble transferrin receptors valuable?—
Answer: in diagnosing iron deficiency and monitoring erythropoiesis,
especially before anemia develops
