2. A patient requires a nutrition assessment. The most appropriate professional to perform the
assessment is a
a. physician.
b. nurse.
c. public health nutritionist.
d. registered dietitian.
ANS: D
The registered dietitian is the nutrition expert registered with the Commission of Dietetic
Registration (CDR), the certifying agency of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Registered
dietitians are the only professionals who have met strict educational and professional
prerequisites and passed a national registration examination that properly prepares them to
conduct a nutrition assessment.

3. The sum of all body processes inside living cells that sustain life and health is
a. science.
b. digestion.
c. metabolism.
d. nutrition.
ANS: C
Metabolism is the sum of all chemical changes that take place in the body. Metabolism
provides energy, builds tissue, and regulates metabolic processes in the body.

4. The nutrients that provide the body with its primary source of fuel for energy are
a. vitamins.
b. minerals.
c. fiber.
d. carbohydrates.
ANS: D
Carbohydrates (e.g., starches and sugars) are the body’s primary fuel to carry out necessary
processes; fat is the secondary source of energy.

5. Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the functions of protein?
a. Proteins can be a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carbohydrate intake.
b. Proteins are a necessary nutrient to provide energy for the body in times of stress.
c. Proteins can be used as coenzyme factors during cell metabolism.
d. Proteins are essential to building and repairing tissues within the body.
ANS: D
The primary function of proteins is to provide amino acids, which are the building units
necessary to building and repairing tissues within the body. This is a constant process that
ensures adequate growth and maintenance of tissues for a strong body.

6. A 65-year-old man requires 2000 kcal/day without any specific fat or carbohydrate
requirements. The approximate number of kilocalories per day from fat that his diet should
provide is kcal/day.
a. 400 to 700
b. 100 to 300
c. 500 to 800
d. 900 to 1200
ANS: A
Fat should provide no more than 20% to 35% of the total kilocalories per day, so for a 2000-
kcal diet, 400 to 700 kcal should be provided.

7. The body’s main storage form of carbohydrate is
a. glycogen.
b. glycerol.

Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is the main storage form of carbohydrate in the human
body. It is mainly stored in the liver and to a lesser extent in muscle tissue.

protein, and 1 g fat is kcal.
a. 34
b. 136
c. 141
d. 306
ANS: C
Calculate as follows: Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal/g, protein provides 4 kcal/g, and fat
provides 9 kcal/g. Therefore:
30 g carbohydrate 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal
3 g protein 4 kcal/g = 12 kcal
1 g fat 9 kcal/g = 9 kcal
