Q

The main difference between AN & BN is…

A

AN patients tend have dropped in weight significantly from a healthy weight either to a much lower weight (whether or not that weight is classified as underweight)

BN tend to be at or above a healthy weight.

65
Q

Excessive vomiting leads to depletion of stores of…

A

potassium kept in the stomach

66
Q

Overwhelmingly males with eating disorders tend to have (1), specifically engaging in (2)

A
  1. Binge-purge type AN

2. Subjective binge-eating with overexercising purging

67
Q

True or false: eating disorders are like drug addictions, you can manage them, but you can never truly recover

A

False: it IS possible to fully recover from eating disorders, unlike their sometimes comorbid psychiatric disorders; especially in younger patients

68
Q

True or False: All overweight BN & BED patients will be able to lose their excess weight down to their optimal age range

A

False. Gaining a certain amount of weight and/or staying at a certain weight for a significant amount of time can raise your body’s set point for body fat homeostasis, making it very difficult or even impossible to drop significantly below that range

69
Q

Which is the priority the eating disorder or the comorbid depression/anxiety?

A

Eating disorder. Starvation (whether direct or absorptive) is always going to take priority over a behavioral/emotional disorder. Also, food dysregulation can cause anxiety. Not to mention CBT is also a useful treatment for both.

Q 
Growth failure in childhood cancer is caused by the
presence of (1), leading to (2) and (3)
A
  1. inflammation
  2. increased energy expenditure
  3. anorexia
103
Q

Growth failure can be the presenting sign for (1) in
childhood. Iron deficiency is a major concern in these patients, as the characteristic (2) associated therewith increases production of hepcidin from the liver, which impairs intestinal iron absorption and sequestration of iron from the reticuloendothelial system.

A
  1. IBD

2. Chronic inflammation

104
Q 
The general approach to nutritional support in IBD is
to control (1), provide adequate nutrition, and minimize (2) exposure. (2) treatment is an integral part of management to induce remission.
A
  1. active intestinal inflammation

2. corticosteroid

105
Q

Children with IBD should receive 100% of (1) needs, and intake should be increased to 150% of DRI during (2).

A
  1. energy and protein

2. disease flares

106
Q

Toddlers who are not given cow milk because of
a known sensitivity have decreased intake of energy,
fat, protein, calcium, (1), and (2).

A
  1. riboflavin

2. niacin

107
Q

Mid-parental height is calculated as follows:
Boys: [(maternal height + A) + paternal height]/B
Girls: [maternal height + (paternal height − A)]/B

A 
A = 5 in or 13 cm
B = 2
108

  4. Both the infant and the parents are small; growth runs parallel to and just below the expected curves
A
  1. Nutritional insufficiency
  2. Chronic malnutrition
  3. Constitutional growth delay
  4. Familial short stature
