AND EXPLANATIONS RATED A.
Factors positively affecting the absorption of calcium include all the following
except
a. Estrogen levels
b. Vitamin D
c. High levels of exercise
d. Low fiber diets
d. Low fiber diets
Availability of calcium depends on the form of the calcium in foods and the
interaction among foods consumed concurrently. Vitamin D and lactose enhance
calcium absorption; phytates and oxalates that bind with vegetable sources of
calcium inhibit absorption. Thus, a diet rich in dairy products would increase
availability of calcium, whereas a high fiber diet rich in phytates and oxalates would
decrease it. Calcium absorption seems to decrease with age. Although normal
middle-age adults adapt to a less-than-desirable calcium intake by increased
absorption, this adaptability is decreased with age. Hormones such as thyroid,
parathyroid, growth hormone, and estrogen can also affect calcium absorption.
What are the protein requirements of an infant during the first six months of life?
a. 8gm/day
b. 9gm/day
c. 11gm/day
d. 12gm/day

The high nutritional needs in infancy based on rapid growth and development.
Adequate nutrition is as crucial for brain development as it is for growth. Also, it has
been reported that excess calories deposited as fat during the first 18 months may
,lead to development of extra fat cells that remain for life. So it is essential that infants
receive high quality nutrition with the emphasis on protein. Nutritional requirements
for this stage of life are patterned after mother's milk, as this is the most desirable
form of food. Human milk supplies only six grams of protein, but it is believed that
there is better absorption of amino acids from this source. Therefore, the
requirement that allows for formula feeding is higher, at 9 grams.

Restaurant meals typically have more fat and calories than those prepared at home
by a careful cook. At home, rolls and butter are not frequently served with dinner.
Here, rolls and butter account for extra calories and fat. Meat and poultry are
prepared for taste, not nutrition, and fancy sauces may be the rule, rather than the
exception.

What is the acronym for a storage and stock rotation principle?
a. LILO
b. FIFO
c. APPM
d. SSRP
b. FIFO
FIFO stands for First In First Out. It describes a storage and stock rotation principle
that ensures that foods are used in the order in which they were delivered. In effect,
the first lot of a product that was delivered and came into the storeroom would be
the first taken out of the storeroom and used. This keeps the latest delivery in the
back of storage area or shelf and allows for the older delivery to be placed in the front
and used first. As the first supply is used, the next moves up to the font, and a new
delivery would be placed in the back. So stock is rotated according to its age.
