NURSING 3100 EXAM 3 well answered to
pass
Why is it important to have sufficient carbohydrates in the diet to "spare" protein? - correct answer ✔✔-
want to avoid negative nitrogen balance
-protein- sparing effect is all about making sure the protein you consume is not being used as energy
- spare protein from being used by energy --> you help ensure body has all it needs to fill proteins other
roles in body
If diet is lacking an essential amino acid, what happens to protein synthesis? - correct answer ✔✔- will
be halted
List 3 risks of over consumption of high protein foods on a long-term basis. - correct answer ✔✔1.
limited dietary fiber
2. potential for vitamin/mineral deficiencies
3. animal protein foods- also high in fat and associated in these co-morbidities
- coronary artery disease
- cancer
- type II diabetes
- hypertension
Body builders who consume large amounts of powdered protein supplements are at risk for adverse
consequences? - correct answer ✔✔- increased urinary frequency --> puts points at risk for dehydration
- microvascular damage to the kidney
- excess protein is stored as fat, rather than contributing to muscle mass
Give 3 examples of clinical condition that would put a patient in negative nitrogen balance - correct
answer ✔✔- = value of protein they are excreting is much higher than the values they are consuming
- Clinical conditions:
, - starvation/malnutrition
- anorexia
- burns
- blood loss
Give 5 examples of complementary plant protein combinations. - correct answer ✔✔1. rice and beans
2. rice and tofu
3. rice and lentils
4. rice and black eyed peas
5. peanut butter and bread
Is it true that strict vegetarians must consume complete plant protein combinations at the same meal ? -
correct answer ✔✔?
What happens to excess dietary protein that is above the needs for growth and repair ? - correct answer
✔✔- the become stored in the body as fat
- deamination also occur and excreted by kidney
What happens to serum transferrin levels in patients with protein depletion? What happens to the total
iron binding capacity ? How is the serum transferrin saturation level impacted? - correct answer ✔✔-
decreased in patients with protein depletion. smaller sponge saturates with iron faster
- total iron binding capacity is influenced by iron status. serum transferrin levels down with protein
depletion, capacity decreased, saturation increased
Describe the somatic protein compartment and the visceral protein compartment. What indices are used
to assess each? - correct answer ✔✔1.Somatic protein:
- skeletal muscle
- How to assess? --> triceps skin fold and mid-arm muscle circumference
2. Visceral protein:
- mostly assessing for this in hospital setting
How to assess?
