Q. Which of the following would present a challenge in interpreting results of a meta analysis?
A.Having a study question with a specific outcome in mind
B.Reporting results by random effects rather than only by fixed effects
C.Including literature that has not been peer reviewed
D.Combining results from case-controlled and randomized studies - CORRECT
ANSWER - The correct answer is D.
A meta-analysis generally begins with formulating a study question that targets a specific
outcome. Including "grey" literature such as reports, unpublished theses, books, and other
materials beyond peer-reviewed literature in a search is considered an effective search strategy.
Meta analyses should include reports comprising both fixed and random effects. But significant
problems have been observed in meta-analyses that combine results across different study
designs like randomized controlled trials and case-control studies.
Q. What is the US government's term for a household-level economic and social condition of
limited or uncertain access to adequate sustenance?

B.Famine
C.Malnutrition
D.Food insecurity - CORRECT ANSWER - The correct answer is D.
"Food insecurity" is the US government's term for a household-level economic and social
condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate sustenance. Malnutrition is a clinical

Q. When is it acceptable to share a copy of the patient's MNT intervention from the medical
record with the facility the patient will be transferred to?
A.If the patient or legal representative gives permission
,B.If the patient's condition requires diet changes that could affect meal service

records and other personal health information. It gives patients control over their health
information and sets boundaries on the use and release of health records. It is acceptable to share
MNT interventions if the patient or patient's legal representative gives consent.
Q. Which food would be most likely to contain propyl gallate?
A.Gelatin dessert
B.Nonfat dry milk
C.Frozen pork sausage
D.Canned tomatoes - CORRECT ANSWER - The correct answer is C.

Q. What type of food causes histamine toxicity?
A.Eggs
B.Peanuts
C.Fish
D.Wheat-based foods - CORRECT ANSWER - The correct answer is C.
Histamine toxicity is a form of food poisoning related to fish. It is commonly linked to tuna,
bonito, mackerel, and mahimahi. It can be confused with fish allergy, because if a person eats
fish that has a high level of histamine, the response may resemble an allergic reaction to that
food. The most common cause of acute histamine toxicity is inadequate refrigeration or spoiled
fish, which causes an overgrowth of bacteria that converts histidine to high levels of histamine.
Q. A handwashing station must be equipped with the following items:
A.Running hot and cold water, soap, single-use paper towels, waste container, and signage
indicating that employees should wash their hands before returning to work.
,B.Running hot water, soap, a warm-air dryer, waste container, and signage indicating that
employees should wash their hands before returning to work.
C.Running hot and cold water, soap, hand sanitizer, towel to dry hands, waste container, and
signage indicating that employees should wash their hands before returning to work.
D.Running hot water, hand sanitizer, single-use paper towels, waste container, and signage
indicating that employees should wash their hands before returning to work. - CORRECT
ANSWER - The correct answer is A.
There are five components to a handwashing station: hot and cold running water, soap, a means
to dry hands, waste container, and signage indicating employees are required to wash hands
before returning to work.
Q. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state is more likely to occur in which of the following
populations?
A.Preterm infants
B.Obese adolescents
C.Adults aged 18 to 35 with hypertension
D.Adults age 65+ years with type 2 diabetes mellitus - CORRECT ANSWER - The
correct answer is D.
Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state—a rare condition that presents with extremely high blood
glucose levels, elevated serum osmolality, extreme dehydration, and low amounts of ketones—
often occurs when people with type 2 diabetes have an infection or forget to take their medicines.
Because the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing in the aging population, who may have a
higher likelihood of forgetting to take their medications and thus experience underlying
infections, there is a higher risk of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state in seniors.
Q. To make sure the correct service or treatment is delivered to the correct individual, what is an
acceptable patient identifier in a health care setting?
A.Patient's phone number
B.Patient's initials
C.Patient's illness or condition
D.Patient's age and sex - CORRECT ANSWER - The correct answer is A.
The Joint Commission recommends using at least two patient identifiers when providing care,
treatment, and services to avoid wrong-patient errors at all stages of diagnosis and treatment.
, Acceptable identifiers may be the individual's full name, an assigned identification number,
telephone number, or other person-specific identifier such as date of birth.
Q. The indicator head of a bimetallic stemmed thermometer ranges from 0˚F to
A.180˚F
B.200˚F
C.220˚F
D.250˚F - CORRECT ANSWER - The correct answer is C.
The indicator must be able to register temperatures below 32˚F to accommodate incoming frozen
food shipments and above 212˚F to accommodate hot holdings. The bimetallic stemmed
thermometer ranges from 0˚F to 220˚F.
Q. The following outcomes objective was written for a community nutrition program: "10% of
women with gestational diabetes will demonstrate ability to check blood glucose readings." What
required component is missing from the objective?
A.Budgetary requirements
B.Who will coordinate the intervention
C.How participants will be taught to perform this activity
D.Time frame for intervention - CORRECT ANSWER - The correct answer is D.
What it is (blood glucose measurement), who it is (women with gestational diabetes), and the
measure of success (10% with demonstrated ability to perform this activity) are all present. The
time frame is missing. The outcomes objective would be complete if, for example, it noted that
these individuals would demonstrate this ability within 6 months. Budgetary and staffing
concerns are part of the structure objectives and how it will be accomplished is part of the
process objective.
Q. What name is given to standard methods of accounting and presentation of financial
statements that provide comparability of financial data within an industry?
