Q

A client asks you to provide her with a meal plan specifying how many calories and grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fat she should eat for weight loss. What is the best way to respond to her request to stay within scope of practice?

A

Explain that providing specific nutrient recommendations is outside your scope of practice, and then refer the client to a registered dietitian or licensed nutritionist for nutrition counseling.

27
Q

A

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

28
Q

Which type of exercise accommodates effort whereby the harder the individual pushes or pulls, the more resistance they feel, despite the movement speed remaining constant?

A

Isokinetic

29
Q

What is end-systolic volume?

A

The amount of blood remaining in the ventricle after contraction

30
Q

What are the components of ATP?

31
Q

Which of the following is a component of total daily energy expenditure (TDEE)?

A

Resting metabolic rate (RMR)

32
Q

Which subsystem is responsible for providing both frontal plane mobility and stabilization of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex?

A

Lateral subsystem

33
Q

Which heart chamber gathers oxygenated blood coming to the heart from the lungs?

A

Left atrium

34
Q

Which mechanoreceptor is sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of that tension change, causing the muscle to relax, which prevents the muscle from excessive stress and possible injury?

A

Golgi tendon organs

35
Q

Carbohydrate intake prior to intense or long-duration exercise serves which of the following functions?

A

It replenishes glycogen stores and provides adequate fuel for performance.

36
Q

What are the three pathways through which the body can produce ATP?

37
Q

Which of the following is magnesium classified as?

A

Macromineral

38
Q

What is a primary difference between a food label and a supplement label?

A

A supplement label only needs to list what is present, not specific amounts.

39
Q

If someone specifically wanted to burn a lot of fat (not necessarily total calories), what type of exercise should they do?

A

Low- to moderate-intensity exercise for 30 to 60 minutes

40
Q

Which heart chamber gathers deoxygenated blood returning to the heart from the superior and inferior vena cava veins?

A

Right atrium

41
Q

What best describes the all-or-nothing principle?

A

motor unit will either contract maximally or not at all.

42
Q

Compared to water-soluble vitamins, which of the following is true about fat-soluble vitamins?

A

Fat-soluble vitamins take longer to accumulate in and deplete from the body.

43
Q

What mechanism is responsible for increasing the rate of heart conduction?

A

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system

44
Q

The pathway for hormones secreted by the endocrine system may be described by which of the following?

A

The gland secretes the hormone, which travels through the bloodstream to reach a target cell, where it binds to a receptor and influences a particular action.

45
Q

When glucose is broken down via glycolysis, what molecule is created that could also be oxidized under aerobic conditions?

A

Pyruvate

46
Q

What is a kilocalorie (kcal)?

A

The amount of energy needed to raise 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. It is also the same thing as 1 food calorie.

47
Q

What type of input may provide a runner with a cue to contract the evertor muscles to avoid an inversion injury?

A

Proprioception

48
Q

Overactive hip flexors may lead to which of the following postural compensations?

A

49
Q

Which of the following is true about the biologically active forms of vitamins?

A
