Terms To Know - RD Exam Questions
And Answers.
CDC -
\(Center for Disease Control and Prevention) Is a national public health institute in the
United States. It is a United States federal agency, under the Department of Health and
Human Services.
Child Labor Laws -
\The U.S. Department of Labor is the sole federal agency that monitors child labor and
enforces child labor laws.
Child labor provisions under FLSA are designed to protect the educational opportunities
of youth and prohibit their employment in jobs that are detrimental to their health and
safety.
Class I Recall -
\involves a health hazard situation in which there is a reasonable probability that eating
the food will cause health problems or death.
Correlation -
\Correlation means there is a relationship or pattern between the values of two
variables. A scatterplot displays data about two variables as a set of points in the xy-
plane and is a useful tool for determining if there is a correlation between the variables.
Causation -
\Causation means that one event causes another event to occur. Causation can only be
determined from an appropriately designed experiment. In such experiments, similar
groups receive different treatments, and the outcomes of each group are studied. We
can only conclude that treatment causes an effect if the groups have noticeably different
outcomes.
Dependent Variable -
\The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the
independent variable.
Independent Variable -
\The cause, value is independent of other variables in the study.
Descriptive Test -
\Difference test in which two samples are judged against control to determine which of
the two samples is different from the control.
,Duo Trio Test -
\Is an overall difference test that will determine whether or not a sensory difference
exists between two samples. This method is particularly useful: To determine whether
product differences result from a change in ingredients, processing, packaging, or
storage.
EBM Grading Evidence -
\(Evidence-Based Medicine grading evidence) The grading system provides an
important component in evidence-based medicine and assists in clinical decision-
making. For example, a strong recommendation is given when there is level I evidence
and consistent evidence from Level II, III, and IV studies available.
Errors of Data Distortion -
\
Experimental -
\(of a new invention or product) based on untested ideas or techniques and not yet
established or finalized.
Focus Group -
\involves discussions with a group of 5-15 individuals to gather more specific
information. focus group members may be repeat customers or randomly selected
potential customers. they provide an excellent way to gather detailed information from
those external to the organization.
FSIS Responsibilities -
\(Food Safety and Inspection Service) Federal agency responsible for ensuring that
meat and poultry products destined for interstate commerce and human consumption
do not pose any health hazards.
Functional Food -
\Foods that may provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition, also known as
nutraceuticals.
Nutraceuticals is used to describe food products created by new technologies and
scientific developments.
"any substance that may be considered a food or part of a food and provides medical or
health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease"
GRAS -
\(generally recognized as safe) is a United States Food and Drug Administration
designation that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts,
and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act food additive
tolerance requirements.
, Green Radura -
\A symbol developed by the FDA that requires irradiated foods bear the international
symbol for irradiation along with the statement "treated with radiation" or "treated by
irradiation" on the food label
Health Risk Appraisal -
\a type of survey instrument used to characterize a population's general health status.
the HRA is a kind of "health hazard chart" that asks questions about the lifestyle factors
that influence disease risk, and it has been used successfully to improve health
behaviors
Incidence -
\the number of new cases of a disease during a specific time period in a defined
population
Labeling Violation -
\
Market Segmentation -
\division of total market into groups of customers who have similar needs, wants,
values, and buying behavior
Mean -
\average of a data set, found by adding all numbers in the data set and then dividing by
the number of values in the set
Median -
\the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest
Mode -
\number that occurs most often in a data set
Measurement Error -
\also called observational error, is the difference between a measured quantity and its
true value.
Morbidity Rate -
\the percentage of people who have complications from a medical condition or after a
procedure or treatment
Mortality Rate -
\is a measure of the frequency of occurrence of death in a defined population during a
specified interval.
Non-Response Error -
