A

you ask the client to identify a number of times per day,week

46
Q

what is a food frequency questionnaire

A

you ask the client to identify a number of times per day, week, month a particular food group is eaten
provides a broadened view of the patients nutritional intake
accuracy is a problem because it relies on recall

47
Q

what is a food record

A

a patient keeps a record of measured/weighed amounts of food over a 3-day period
allows the nurse to get the total Kcal and nutrient content
it is the most accurate

48
Q

what is a full liquid diet

A

contains all the liquids in the clear liquid dietplus any food that are liquid at room temperature

49
Q

what is a indirect calculation of BMR (basal metabolic rate)

A

measuring the oxygen uptake per unit of time - also called the resting energy expenditure

a blended diet

52
Q

what is an example of clear liquid diet

coffee
water
tea
broth
clear juice
popsicles 
carbonated beverages 
gelatin
53
Q

what is basal metabolic rate? (BMR)

A

measure of the energy used while at rest in a neutral temperature environment
the energy required for vital organs

54
Q

What is blood glucose ?

A

the amount of fuel available for cellular energy

55
Q

what is hyperglycemia

A

blood glucose level greater then 109mg/dL fasting

or greater then 126 mg/dL at random

56
Q

what is hypoglycemia

A

limits the fuel supply to the body

blood glucose levels less the 50mg/dl

57
Q

what is normal BMI

A

18.5- 24.9

58
Q

What is the difference in complete and nn complete proteins

A

complete contains all the essential amnio acids necessary for protein synthesis (animal sources) incomplete does not but you can combine 2 incompletes to make complete

59
Q

What is the primary energy sources for the body

A

Carbohydrates (CHO’S)

60
Q

what is the waist to hip ratio and how do you calculate it

A

evaluates obesity by assessing abdominal fat
take waist circumference divided by hip circumfrence
women should be below 0.8 and men 0.95

61
Q

what should be included in a nutritional assessment ?

A 
nutritional history
medical history
dietary intake 
anthropometric measurements 
lab values
62
Q

What to vegans eat

A

only food of plant origin

63
Q

What vitamin is used more by smokers then non smokers and why

A

vitamin C because it is needed to counteract damage smoking causes to cells - all so linked to iron deficiency

64
Q

Which amino acid can be synthesized in the body

A

nonessential amino acid

65
Q

which amino acid can not be manufactured in the body

A

Essential amino acids

must be supplied by food or nutritional supplements

66
Q

Which are macronutrients and what do they supply the body?

A

Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids
supply the body with energy (kcal).

67
Q

Which phospholipid is the “good” cholesterol? Why?

A

High density lipoproteins (HDL)

removes cholesterol from the bloodstream, returning it to the liver, where it is used to produce bile.
High blood levels considered protective against cardiovascular disease.

68
