In a foodservice operation, which of the following is the most critical point
of control?
Menu
Overtime

Providing advice and information can be a component of a successful
patient interaction. Under what circumstances is it appropriate to provide
advice or information?
,When you have asked for permission from the client or if the client requests
it
When you have limited time in your nutrition session
When you have a talkative client and you need to direct the focus of the
interview
After you've established rapport and the client is ready to set goals
The correct answer is A.
Asking permission is a powerful request and places the patient in an
autonomous position and readies him or her to be more receptive to
information.
The most influential perception factor in a person's selection of a particular
food is
olfactory.
mouthfeel or texture.
visual.
gustatory.
The correct answer is D.
Taste, or gustatory, is the most influential factor in food preferences, more so
than mouthfeel (texture), smell (olfactory), or visual.
All of the following are criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes, EXCEPT:
fasting plasma glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL.
hemoglobin A1C ≤ 6.5%.
two-hour plasma glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL during an oral glucose tolerance test.
,a random plasma glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL in a person with classic symptoms of
hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis.
The correct answer is B.
Measurement of hemoglobin A1C ≤ 6.5% is not a criterion. Criteria for
diagnosis of diabetes are (1) a fasting plasma glucose of 126 mg/dL or higher,
OR (2) a 2-hour plasma glucose of 200 mg/dL or more during OGTT, (3) OR a
hemoglobin A1c of 6.5% of more, OR (4) random plasma glucose of 200 mg/dL
or higher (in a patient with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia or
hyperglycemic crisis.
The distinction between a franchise quick service restaurant (QSR) located
in a shopping mall and the same franchise QSR located in a medical facility
is that
the shopping mall QSR is the only one allowed to make a profit.
the medical facility QSR is expected to operate at a loss.
the QSR in the hospital serves a secondary purpose while the QSR in the
shopping mall serves as the primary purpose.
the QSR in the shopping mall satisfies a level 1 customer-driven need while
the QSR in the hospital does not.
The correct answer is C.
The onsite foodservice operation is where sale of food is secondary to the goal
of the organization. Foodservice in the hospital serves a secondary purpose of
providing convenient access to food for employees and visitors. It may or may
not be expected to generate a profit. However, the goal of the QSR in the
shopping mall serves the primary purpose of selling food for a profit.
The hydrolysis of sucrose with an acid to form a mixture that has equal
amounts of fructose and glucose is known as
, inversion.
reversion.
ripening.
crystallization.
The correct answer is A.
Inversion occurs when a sugar solution is boiled with the addition of an acid.
Hydrolysis of the sucrose molecule results in equal amounts of fructose and
glucose.
Which one of the following patient scenarios requires less stringent blood
glucose targets?
A 32-year-old with new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes
A 65-year-old on metformin only and who is determined to lose weight and
get off medication
A 72-year-old with 8-year history of diabetes starting basal insulin therapy
A 58-year-old with severe cardiomyopathy, depression, and limited family
supports
The correct answer is D.
Stringent glucose targets are established with regard to life expectancy,
presence of comorbid conditions, risk of hypoglycemia, and support systems.
Scenarios A, B, and C represent appropriate supports to initiate basal insulin
with low risk for hypoglycemia.
Which of these acronyms requires compliance with safety standards?
SDS
OSHA
