RD Exam Review Questions with
Verified Solutions
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) - ANS-assumes that all behavior is learned and is
directly related to internal triggers (e.g., thoughts and thinking patterns) and external
triggers (e.g., environmental stimuli and reinforcement), which results in specific
problematic behaviors. The intervention targets identification of inaccurate thoughts or
beliefs that lead to unhealthy moods and behaviors (e.g., "I am so fat") and modification
of those thoughts and responses. Techniques may include keeping a diary of feelings,
thoughts, and behaviors.
Social Cognitive Theory, or Social Learning Theory - ANS-is a theoretical framework for
understanding, predicting, and changing behavior. Reinforcement strategies are used to
increase or decrease the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated.
The Health Belief Model - ANS-is based on the assumption that an individual will be
motivated to take action if that person feels that a negative health condition can be
avoided/managed, believes that by taking a recommended action he/she will avoid
negative health consequences, and believes he/she can do the recommended action.
The Transtheoretical Model - ANS-is a model developed to explain how behavior
change involves progress through the stages of change.
Numerical discrete - ANS-refers to data with numbers, such as the first wellness
appointment.
Rank order, or ordinal scale - ANS-is a variable with different stages, such as stages of
a disease.
Nominal, or non-ordered, - ANS-variables fit into a category without a special order,
such as gender, race, or marital status.
Numerical continuous - ANS-is used for underlying continuous scales, such as blood
pressure readings.
The Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) - ANS-assesses the
prevalence of personal health practices that are related to the leading causes of death
and is used by state health departments to plan, initiate, and guide health promotion
and disease prevention programs, and to monitor their progress over time.
,is a survey under HHS for adults over 18 that collects information on risk behaviors
(height, weight, smoking, alcohol, FFQ, health problems, diabetes).
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) II - ANS-Mortality
Study was conducted from 1976 to 1980 and the purpose was to establish the vital
status of adults who were 30 to 75 years of age at the time of their baseline NHANES II
examination.
The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) - ANS-monitors priority health
risk behaviors among adolescents through national, state, and local surveys.
is a survey under HHS for youth in grades 9 to 12 to assess their risk behaviors
(smoking, alcohol, weight changes, exercise, eating habits).
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study
(NHEFS) - ANS-investigates the relationships between clinical, nutritional, and
behavioral factors assessed in NHANES I and the subsequent morbidity, mortality, and
hospital utilization.
The seven steps in the research process are as follows - ANS-Identify a relevant and
important topic
Develop a research question
Develop a hypothesis
Prepare a research protocol
Organize methods and materials
Collect and analyze data
Study the results
Based on the ADA/A.S.P.E.N. chart of clinical characteristics to support diagnosis of
malnutrition, chronic moderate malnutrition is categorized as - ANS-<75% of energy
intake for >=1 month, 5% weight loss in 1 month, 7.5% weight loss in 3 months, 10%
weight loss in 6 months, and 20% weight loss in 1 year.
If your food service facility has hard water, what should you do to ensure clean dishes?
- ANS-Use more detergent
Hard water is water that has a high mineral content, in contrast with soft water. This
makes it more difficult for surfactants to form lather; therefore, you should use more
detergent to compensate and ensure clean dishes.
Adding a drying agent helps prevent - ANS-water spots
Decreasing the temperature during the wash cycle leads to - ANS-greasy dishes
A low-energy chemical dishwasher saves energy, but requires - ANS-even more
detergent to clean dishes.
, largest contributer to renal solute load - ANS-The largest contributor to renal solute load
is nitrogenous waste. Renal solute load is the end waste products of metabolism and
mainly measures nitrogen (~60%) and electrolytes (Na). Other contributors to renal
solute load include uric acid, creatinine, and ammonia (found in smaller amounts).
argued there are ten primary roles that can be used to categorize a manager's different
functions to accomplish work and use skills. - ANS-Mintzberg's Management Roles
identified three managerial skills essential to successful management: technical,
human, and conceptual. - ANS-Katz's Skill Management
is the process of defining specific objectives within an organization that management
can convey to organization members, then deciding how to achieve each objective in
sequence. - ANS-Drucker's Management by Objectives (MBO)
Taylor's Scientific Management - ANS-is a theory that analyzes and synthesizes
workflows, with the main objective being to improve economic efficiency, especially
labor productivity.
Pheophytin - ANS-is the olive green pigment found when chlorophyll is exposed to an
acidic medium
chlorophyllin - ANS-is the bright green pigment found when chlorophyll is exposed to an
alkaline medium.
The aesthetic characteristics of a menu are - ANS-flavor, consistency, shape, color, and
texture.
Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when a patient has at least three of the following five
conditions: - ANS-Fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL (hyperglycemia)
Blood pressure ≥130/85 mm Hg (hypertension)
Triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL (hypertriglyceridemia)
HDL-C <40 mg/dL in men or <50 mg/dL in women
Waist circumference ≥102 cm (40 in) in men or ≥88 cm (35 in) in women
Metabolic syndrome is comprised of a combination of risk factors linked to increased
risk for - ANS-coronary heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver, and several cancers.
Macros DRI - ANS-The DRI for carbohydrates is 45-65% (0.8-1.0 g protein/kg).
The DRI for fat is 20-35%, and for protein, 10-25%.
The Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System (PNSS) - ANS-is a program under HHS to
identify and reduce pregnancy-related health risks in low-income, high-risk pregnancies.
