PORTAGE NUTRITION BIOD121 FINAL EXAM 2025 WITH 100%
ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. If a patient has their gallbladder removed, what dietary changes might
they need to consider to manage fat digestion?
They should avoid all carbohydrates.
They may need to reduce fat intake and eat smaller, more
frequent meals.
They can eat a normal diet without any changes.
They should increase their protein intake significantly.
2. Deficiency of vitamin B3 causes
Pellagra
Ariboflavinosis
Beriberi
Osteomalacia
3. If a young child is experiencing a growth spurt, what dietary strategy
should be prioritized to support their increased nutrient needs?
Focus solely on carbohydrates to fuel growth.
Reduce overall food intake to prevent obesity.
Incorporate iron-rich foods and supplements to enhance
nutrient absorption.
Limit protein intake to avoid kidney strain.
4. Describe the process by which indirect calorimetry estimates energy
requirements.
,Indirect calorimetry estimates energy requirements by tracking
daily caloric intake and exercise routines.
, Indirect calorimetry estimates energy requirements by analyzing
blood glucose levels and fat oxidation rates.
Indirect calorimetry estimates energy requirements by assessing
body temperature and hydration levels.
Indirect calorimetry estimates energy requirements by
measuring the ratio of oxygen consumed to carbon dioxide
produced during metabolism.
5. If a newborn is not receiving colostrum in the first few days of life, what
potential health implications could arise?
Increased risk of infections and inadequate nutrient intake.
No significant impact on health.
Lower risk of allergies and better hydration.
Improved digestion and faster weight gain.
6. Describe how the total caloric content of the fudge brownie is calculated
using its macronutrient composition.
The total caloric content is simply the sum of the grams of each
macronutrient.
The total caloric content is based solely on the amount of fat
present.
The total caloric content is calculated by multiplying the grams
of each macronutrient by their respective caloric values:
carbohydrates by 4, protein by 4, and fat by 9, then summing
the results.
The total caloric content is determined by the weight of the
brownie alone.
, 7. If Tad were to receive assistance from a local food bank, which factor
from the DETERMINE tool would be directly addressed, potentially
reducing his malnutrition risk?
Disease
Economic hardship
Medications
Reduced social contact
8. If a person were to consume excessive amounts of fat-soluble vitamins
over time, what health risks might they face?
They would likely have no adverse effects since fat-soluble
vitamins are essential.
They might develop a deficiency in water-soluble vitamins.
They could experience toxicity symptoms such as nausea,
headaches, and organ damage due to accumulation in the body.
They would experience immediate energy boosts without any
risks.
9. If a person consumes a diet high in disaccharides but low in fiber, what
potential health risks might they face?
Decreased risk of obesity and diabetes
Improved nutrient absorption and energy levels
Enhanced hydration and electrolyte balance
Increased risk of digestive issues and blood sugar spikes
10. What term is used to describe high blood sugar levels?
Hyperglycemia
Hypoglycemia
