How to Use This Guide
Read each stem, select your answer, then review the rationale. Correct answers are distributed
across all four letter positions. Covers ABCDE nutritional assessment,
macronutrients/micronutrients, calorie calculations, hunger/satiety hormones, MyPlate
guidelines, food labels, digestion, and blood sugar regulation for the BIOD 121 Final Exam.
Questions 1–34: Nutritional Assessment, Nutrients & Calculations
1 The ABCDE's of nutritional assessment include Anthropometrics. What
does this measure?
A Measurements of body composition such as height and weight
B Measurement of nutrients in blood, urine, and feces
C Physical exam and general appearance
D Review of dietary intake and assessment
Correct Answer: A. Anthropometrics = body measurements: height, weight, skin
fold measurements, and body circumference. It is the "A" in the ABCDE nutritional
assessment framework.
Rationale: B is Biochemical. C is Clinical. D is Dietary. E is Environmental
(background, family history, lifestyle).
, 2 What are the three states of nutritional health?
A Desirable nutrition, over-nutrition, and under-nutrition
B Macronutrient, micronutrient, and water balance
C Anabolic, catabolic, and maintenance states
D Acute, chronic, and recovering nutrition
Correct Answer: A. Desirable nutrition: eating variety providing essential
nutrients. Over-nutrition: excess calories, fats, saturated fats, cholesterol increasing
chronic disease risk. Under-nutrition: intake doesn't meet needs, health declines
over time.
Rationale: B describes nutrient categories. C describes metabolic states. D is not
the standard classification. Understanding these states guides nutritional
interventions.
3 There are six classes of nutrients. Which three supply energy?
A Carbohydrates, proteins, and fat
B Vitamins, minerals, and water
C Protein, vitamins, and water
D Carbohydrates, minerals, and water
Correct Answer: A. The three energy-yielding nutrients: carbohydrates (4 kcal/g),
proteins (4 kcal/g), and fats (9 kcal/g). Vitamins, minerals, and water do not
provide calories.
Rationale: B, C, D include non-energy nutrients. Understanding which nutrients
provide energy is essential for calorie calculations and dietary planning.
